Summary: Bug renames are not recorded in the visible bug history Product: WineHQ Bugzilla Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: bugzilla-unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: michael@araneidae.co.uk
As a bug evolves the original one line description may change to reflect updates to how the bug is understood, or even changes to the underlying bug being described. Unfortunately when reviewing the history of comments on a bug there is no visible record of changes to the bug title. This can result in confused conversations, or even can be used to mislead!
At the very least, each change in the bug title should be reflected as a one line comment to the effect:
------ Comment #xx From blah blah Bug renamed from "old title here" to "new title here" ------ <rest of update comment can go here>
Or whatever. Make the changes visible, anyhow.
