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

ID: 37542 User updated by: ross at golder dot org Reported By: ross at golder dot org Status: Open Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: all PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: OK, so #17904 is now solved (at least in the 5.1 PHP version I have on a Ubuntu Dapper Beta machine kicking around. I may not want to re-open that bug any more, but it would still be nice to be able to add a comment to it stating that it's actually been fixed already.

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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37542&edit=1
