1433825 - If I try to tag a comment, it triggers a red error-box saying e.g. "13001142 is not a valid comment id"; and bug pages sometimes trigger "Missing Bug ID" error page

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Attachment: screenshot of error when trying to tag

STR:
  0. Be logged in to bugzilla.mozilla.org
  1. Visit some BMO bug page (e.g. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1431565 or probably this very bug page here)
  2. Click "Tag" at the top right of some comment box.

ACTUAL RESULTS:
Sometimes, a red box appears below the "Add Tag" textfield that says e.g.
  "13001142 is not a valid comment id."
(In practice, this does not seem to actually block me from adding a tag, but it superficially looks broken & reduces my confidence that the tag will stick.)

EXPECTED RESULTS:
No such red box.

I'm using Firefox Nightly 60.0a1 (2018-01-27) (64-bit) on Ubuntu 17.10 64-bit

Relatedly: if I try to load this very bug page ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1433825 ) in a fresh profile, then half the time I get an error page saying...
> Missing Bug ID
> You must enter a valid bug number!
...and half the time it works.  (And if I reload, I randomly get a working result vs. a broken result.)

Seems like maybe one of the bugzilla servers is busted, and I'm getting arbitrarily load-balanced between the broken server & a working one...?

cvalaas took some action on a long-running database operation of some sort, and that seems to have fixed things. (I can't reproduce comment 0 or comment 1 anymore, at least.)
