1120218 - Highlight assignee comments on show_bug.cgi

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: User Interface, defect, P5)

Description

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

I think it would be great to add some of the more worthwhile features that addons such as BugzillaJS provide to bmo (/upstream bugzilla), so as to make fewer people resort to these addons.

BugzillaJS has a feature (https://github.com/gkoberger/BugzillaJS#improve-comments) where assignee and reporter comments are highlighted on show_bug.cgi so they stand out from other people's comments. Github (and various other forum style comment websites) also do something similar.

We could either use colour styles, or else have a "REPORTER" tag/box next to the comment.

In addition, we could perhaps also highlight comments made by the currently logged in user, so people can tell their comments from others more easily.

[Dylan Hardison [:dylan] (he/him)]

We highlight the reporter, but I think it might be useful to highlight comments by the assignee -- and have that stored, so we know that a comment at a particular time was the assignee at that time.

Not something I can work on right now though.

It’s better to highlight the user’s own comment rather than assignee’s.
