Details

If there are characters like '*' in a review comment, when it is posted on the bugzilla, it would become '\*'. See for example bug 686281 comment 164.
This is basically the mess of reviewboard markdown. This is what happens if I check "disable markdown" to avoid things like *s making italics in reviewboard, but it means that reviewboard internally turns them into markdown with escaping, and then puts the escaping in bugzilla. (The same thing happens if I manually escape them without disabling markdown.) I tend to think the use of markdown in reviewboard is more trouble than it's worth; it's often problematic for talking about code.

This happened to me too, except in my case the ReviewBoard view of the review comment [1] contains the unwanted backslashes too, not just the Bugzilla comment [2]. [1] https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/90100/#review89808 [2] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1249710#c7
MozReview is now obsolete. Please use Phabricator instead. Closing this bug.
