bugzilla gets a bit confused as to who added what comments to a bug if a bug is initially entered with a blank description. quite easy to reproduce -- file a bug with a blank description field, then edit the bug to add a comment and watch as the comment shows up as being given by the person filing the bug. example is bug 47002
Each comment is stored in a separate row in the database. Bugzilla assumes the very first comment (date wise) is the one made by the reporter. If the reporter does not enter anything then the next comment gets pushed up to the top even if it was made by someone else. The proper way to fix this problem I think is to just make it mandatory that a description is entered. I thought this was the case but now I am not so sure. I will look through the code and make the necessary changes.
Red Hat's current Bugzilla version is 2.18. I am moving all older open bugs to this version. Any bugs against the older versions will need to be verified that they are still bugs. This will help me also to sort them better.
Bugzilla 3.2 does not shift the the next comment up if the description is empty. So closing this as currentrelease.
