#22314 [Com]: bugs.php.net "add comment" submission leads to a blank "edit submission" form

ID: 22314 Comment by: skissane at ics dot mq dot edu dot au Reported By: j-devenish at users dot sourceforge dot net Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: N/A PHP Version: 4.3.1 Assigned To: sniper New Comment: I just got bloody confused by this bug. I would strongly suggest changing it from "Won't Fix" to "Open". (Besides, "Won't Fix" should mean "can't/will never be fixed/really really impossibly hard to solve and hence never will", not "we could do it with a bit of work, but none of the developers thinks its important enough to bother with at the moment." If the situation is the later, it should stay as "Open" until someone feels like fixing it, rather than just being changed to "Won't Fix".)

It's so messy anyway.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-19 22:13:56] sniper@php.net I was lazy when I added that restriction. :) I'll look into making it more user-friendly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-19 22:02:38] j-devenish at users dot sourceforge dot net Hi, A trivial interface issue with bugs.php.net: when adding to one's own bug report (which was in the Closed state) using "Add Comment" and pressing "Submit", one was taken directly to the "Edit Comment" form which had empty fields and displayed the existing bug report (withOUT the newly-added comment). I would expect that the correct behaviour would something like one of these: - bugs.php.net adds the comment to the bug report, or - alerts the originator that he/she should use 'edit sub' instead of 'add comm', or - falls through to the 'edit comm' form with an explanation as to what happened, and includes the comment text in the form's text area so that it doesn't have to be re-entered. I daren't try to reproduce this, lest I add random comments in unintended places. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22314&edit=1
