453182 - Position of the additional comments box: before other comments should be before attachments

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

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

Description

[timeless]

i've used this pref for a long time, and while explaining to people how to undo the usability regressions from the resolution stuff, i noted that "additional comments box: before other comments" almost works with two exceptions.

this bug is about the first exception, namely, attachments are lumped with the status stuff instead of with the comments stuff, but as a colleague noted, you can't change anything about attachments from show_bug, so they're much more like static comments than like mutable status fields and as such should be lumped w/ the comments section.

steps:
1. use prefs to select:
additional comments box: before other comments

2. load a bug w/ attachments

expected results:

<status>
<comment field>
<attachments>
<comments>

actual results:
<status>
<attachments>
<comment field>
<comments>

Moving to mozilla.org as this user pref is not implemented upstream (local hack on b.m.o).
