112457 - "bug bar comment foo" syntax for linking directly to a comment should be documented somewhere

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Documentation, defect, P3)

Description

[Damian Yerrick]

When I type "comment 66 to bug 4302" in a comment, I don't get a link to the
right comment.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Make a user account on bugzilla.mozilla.org.
2. Find a bug or create a new bug.
3. Add a new comment containing the text "comment 66 to bug 4302" and click
   'Commit'.

Actual results: Two links, one to comment 66 of the *current* bug, and one
to the beginning of bug 4302.

Expected results: One link to the correct anchor inside bug 4302:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4302#c66

Possible workaround: Link to the comment using the URL.

Because Bugzilla does not support preview (which could be a bug in itself),
you may see several following comments where I try out several possible ways
to link to a comment.  I may WFM this bug and open up a Bugzilla:Docs bug if
I can trip a regexp that works.


=== test area ===
bug 4302 comment 66   bug 4302, comment 66   bug 4302#c66
comment 66 of bug 4302   comment 66 from bug 4302   comment 66 in bug 4302
(Curse english; spanish uses 'de' for all three previous cases)

Found it!  Bug 4302 comment 66
However, we'll need to document it.  Morphing...

Barnboy changed his email address and opened a new account instead of having the
address changed on his existing one.  Reassigning all docs bugs to his new account.

See bug 118714 which is about recognizing more patterns.

This is now documented in the Hints and Tips section of Chapter 3, "Using
Bugzilla" (on the branch only at the moment.)
