I reported this issue on bugs.kde.org, but it is actually an upstream issue which also applies to the mozilla bug tracker: It seems like bugzilla bug reports and comments allow some special syntax like linking to other bugs when using the correct syntax, e.g. "bug #1337". This is nice, but unfortunately undocumented behaviour. (At least I didn't find the documentation quickly). Are there more of those little tricks? A link to an allowed syntax list could be placed below the corresponding text areas. The "Trac" bug tracking system does that pretty much right.
I think we may have another bug on this subject, but confirming for now (with a modified summary).
