230058 - Summary changes should be reported in the bug main page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 11368

Often happens that a bug entry initially devoted to a thing turns to a very
different thing, possibly several times along the bug life. This makes comments
preceding the last change very difficult to understand to a new reader.
I think summary changes should be reported at least as "additional comments", or
else as section titles over the comments they refer to. If the first solution is
chosen, you must beware of the first comments with the original summary - using
a comment like "summary changed from... to..." is not an optimal solution.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

there's a bug somewhere for getting all of the activity data interspersed inline
with the comments....  would that cover this?

Comment 2

[Gabriele Fava]

Well, I think this could be discussed separately from an all-inclusive bug

Comment 3

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

confirming feature request

Comment 4

[GavinS]

For reference, the bug relating to moving all activity to the main show bug page is bug#11368

Comment 5

[Frédéric Buclin]

Either we move everything on the main page, or nothing. Bug 11368 is the right approach and will probably be implemented before 3.0.
