Description Steve Tyler 2012-11-09 21:57:28 UTC
Description of problem:
Bug report comments added by libreport for duplicate reports are not clearly identified as libreport comments. This may cause readers to misinterpret such comments as misplaced. For example:

Bug 853636, Comment 32.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libreport-0:2.0.18-1.fc18.x86_64
Fedora-18-Beta-TC7-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. File a new bug report using libreport.
2. File a duplicate report of the same bug using libreport.

Actual results:
The duplicate report has user comments followed by two lines of libreport annotation:

Package: anaconda-18.24
OS Release: Fedora release 18-Beta-TC7

Expected results:

libreport annotation says:
"This comment was added by libreport for a duplicate report of this bug."
