User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.13) Gecko/2009073021 Firefox/3.0.13 Build Identifier: 3.4.4 Currently, when adding to the Hours Worked field, a comment is required. This does not make sense and it was apparently originally done this way because individual hours worked is actually a field in the longdescs table (work_time). A comment should not be necessary to simply add hours worked. Even though work_time is in longdescs, it is possible to add an empty string as thetext when inserting a record there. If thetext is empty, you still get canned text when the comment is displayed in the GUI: Additional hours worked: XXX because the work_time is non-zero. This is easily fixed by simply removing the lines in Bug.pm where 'comment_required' is thrown in add_comment() if the work_time is non-zero and the comment text is empty. I'm not sure, but the XML may need some tweaking in this case. When I display a bug that has work_time but no text in a comment, all I see the following line: <thetext/> and no reference to the hours worked (although the work_time is displayed as its own field). Reproducible: Always
