      With the new ADG work for JIRA 6.2 (http://blogs.atlassian.com/2013/12/new-issue-status-jira-adg-lozenge) the name of the status of each subtask has been replaced by a colored lozenge. Hovering over the lozenge shows the status name.

      This is a problem because a user can no longer distinguish between two subtasks with different statuses but the same category when viewing the list of subtasks in the parent task. They now have to hover over each subtask's lozenge. With more than a couple of subtasks this is unusable.

      Also, https://developer.atlassian.com/design/latest/colors.html says "Don't rely on color alone to convey state or meaning" and this change clearly breaks that.
