Bug Description

Various in table links are highlighted in blue when not hovering.
 I believe they should only change colors on hover.

The difference in link colour you are seeing is due to some being visited. All links are blue with a slightly dark colour when they are visited. There is nothing special going on there just a consistent look and feel across all of our apps and sites.

I'll of course bring all these points up with design and UX and see what they think about the issues you have raised.

I think it makes sense to highlight links in a website, where you are
wanting to highlight that it is in fact a link in between text, or when
click to track what was changed.

However, in an application like MAAS highlighting links like that doesn’t
make sense to me. It doesn’t make sense either to differentiate between
which machines I have clicked and which ones I haven’t.

We should discuss this, I’m raising the priority to high.

I don't see a problem with the links being distinguishable from non-clickable text in the table. On the other hand, I agree a visited state is unnecessary. Can we override the visited state and have one blue colour throughout?

Yeah sure, will override for MAAS.
