#37542 [NEW]: Unable to add comments to closed bugs

From: ross at golder dot org Operating system: all PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Website problem Bug description: Unable to add comments to closed bugs Description: ------------ See #35311. I am trying to report that a bug closed as 'bogus' is in fact still a real outstanding bug, but after spending several minutes typing up a retort on the elusive 'add a comment page', it tells me: You can not add comments for bugs with the statuses:Closed, Duplicate, Wont fix, Bogus, Stale In this case (#17904), I would like to agree with the original poster that this is a valid problem, and one which still exists, and urge that the bug report be re-opened, but I am unable to do so. I am particulatly unhappy that it didn't tell me this *before* I typed up my comment! Expected result: ---------------- The ability to comment on and/or re-open closed bugs. Otherwise, we end up with tons of duplicate bug reports with no history. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37542&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37542&r=mysqlcfg
