Hey.
I dont know if the "dupe-bug-list" is a spezial from bugzilla.mozilla.org ore an
feature from bugzilla itselfe.
I have the problem, when going thru the list I often come to bugs that are
allread closed.
I think this behavior should be changed in one of the following ways:
- Dont list closed bugs, or
- Mark closed bug with an line thru, or
- show in the list the status of the bug
It would make it for me much easyer. Thx. :-)

Reproducible: Always

I'd say confirm with option 2.  Although the list isn't special to b.m.o, that
may be what is referred to here, so it could be transferred.

Closed bugs should be listed, since even closed bugs are duplicated.  That
leaves options 2 and 3.  If you pull up suplicates.cgi with no format parameter,
you get  option 2 with text at the top and a couple more buttons at the bottom.
 See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/duplicates.cgi?product=Bugzilla>.

The bug already is marked with a line-through if it's closed.

Comment 3

[Tobias B. Besemer [:BesTo] (QA)]

Not in the page for filling new bugs - for me.

Comment 4

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

OK. I see. The iframe version doesn't display them with a strikethrough for some
reason.

Comment 5

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

The guided bug entry form is going to be removed from the core Bugzilla code (see bug 474086), so we won't be fixing these bugs in upstream Bugzilla. It was always just an example page, to begin with. I'm moving the bugs to the bmo component, to at least preserve a record of the fact that these things may need to be fixed for bmo.

This is a bug in the "simple" format of duplicates.cgi. I would expect it could be fixed by importing the strikeout code from the normal format - or, in fact, abstracting out the common parts between the two formats to a third template.
