Optimistic Issue closing with JS
When you reopen or close an issue, you always force a refresh, which also refocuses your window. This means you pop up to the top of the page, unless your url has an anchor.
I think we should use optimistic JS that immediately changes the DOM state and sends an AJAX request to close the issue on the backend. This is how React / Flux handles these things as well and makes for a smoother experience.

This would help solve #1473 (closed), which is especially annoying on a mobile device.
I'd be fine with updating the DOM state after the AJAX request too.
+1 here from me, as #1473 (closed) is no fun.
@dzaporozhets is actively avoiding this issue.
React makes sense when you have hundreds of objects that changes often and you need to update only changed part of DOM. Makes no sense here. Next objects depends on issue state:
- close/reopen button
- issue label with state
Just make a close/reopen via AJAX and update this 2 elements with new value.
