Longstanding annoyance:

The 'Submittted on' date column of the bug tracker is formatted in full as
e.g.
    Mon 21 Aug 2017 12:56:39 PM CEST

The problem is, on small screens, this wide column causes wrapping of the bug
items, for no good reason: the seconds, and the day of the week as well, are
immaterial to me, and I think to other users too.

Really I would be quite happy with the date alone, in abbreviated format
mm/dd/yy or dd.mm.yy.  As a header for the column, "submitted" would suffice.

Maybe you could make it a preference, which format to use.

Thanks!
