198821 - show summary of Duplicate bug within the duplicated message comment (or summary!) rather than just number

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 125888

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, enhancement)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90; Q312461)
Build Identifier: 

The bug that is "duplicated" gets a message that just shows the 
number of the bug.   This is frustrating to navigate through. and it would be 
helpfull to see what other people are calling the widgets/components that they 
are having trouble with.

I don't feel bad about duplicating bugs that show zarro boogs when I search for 
them... because I believe that i am helping create a "pattern language" that 
will help find somebody locate the bug that they need to vote for. and this 
will keep somebody else from duplicating the bug

You know you can mouse over the bug number and it'll show the summary, right?

Comment 2

[Hoss]

Dave makes a good point about mousing over teh link to see the summary.

There are two issues i see with this:

1) If you are getting plain text emails, this doesn't help -- you still have to
load the bug in a browser (heck, i've never tried chaning my email options,
maybe it doesn't help even if you get HTML emails)

2) I don't think the summary is enough information.


What i would like to suggest, is that in addition to (or instead of) the Summary
of the Dup, I want to see whatever "Additional Comments" were posted by the
person marking it a Dup  (ie: the comments posted in the DUp, should automaticly
be posted to the "master" as well).
