Description of problem: It so happens that when 'ctrl-tabbing' through multiple BZs on your browser, you inadvertently end up typing a comment in the wrong BZ, only to realize it later and add another comment to the tune of "Please ignore comment #XX", it was meant for another BZ". A person reading the BZ from the beginning might not realise it until he has gone through the entire comment. One might argue that an incorrect comment might immediately be recognisable as out of context from the BZ's point of view, but I have come across many instances where that isn't the case. And to be honest, yours truly has also many times ended up posting comments meant for one BZ in another. What I am requesting is some sort of a 'Invalid Comment' check-box (like the one we have for private comments) which greys out or strikes through whatever is typed in the comment so that we have some sort of `quick visual indication` to just skip reading it. P.S: Filing it under 'Bugzilla General' as I'm unsure of the component (and version).
Hi, this functionality is not a priority for us and will not get resources allocated to it. If you really want this feature you might have more luck upstream.

Hi, Okay, just for confirmation, is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Bugzilla the upstream version where I can raise a bug?

Tahir, So I raised a bug @https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1263573 and apparently there is a 'comment tagging' feature already present upstream. Tagging a comment as 'obsolete' seems to do the trick. I hope you can prioritize back-porting this to RH bugzilla for a subsequent release. It would really be a useful improvement.
