Problem to solve
Users sometimes will not recognize that an issue is in a Closed (moved) state and will instead scroll to the bottom of the issue to add a comment or edit a field on the issue. This change is not propagated to the moved issue, so either the user must re-do their edits on the new issue or (even worse) not make the changes at all to the new issue.
Proposal
When displaying an issue in Closed (moved) state, make that state immediately clear and more prominent on the page. Give the user a link to go to the new issue instead. Perhaps a banner at top-of-screen and/or a warning message in the issue's comment boxes could accomplish this.
Alternatively, make the issue read-only and do not allow edits to be made unless the issue is re-opened. Display a relevant error message if a user tries to edit it & re-direct them to the new issue.
