653231 - Re-open disallowing should only apply to bugs resolved as FIXED

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Extensions, defect)

Description

[:Gavin Sharp [email: [e-mail]]]

It's perfectly valid to reopen WONTFIX or INVALID or WORKSFORME bugs, even if it's been a while. I think the patch to bug 649625 should only apply to FIXED bugs.

[David Lawrence [:dkl]]

Gerv, since you are the original requester of the mentioned change, do you concur that we should disallow only for FIXED resolutions?

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

Gavin: any chance of an example or three?

Comment 3

[Jesse Ruderman]

I can't reopen bug 411894. Why not?

Comment 4

[Jesse Ruderman]

I filed bug 653988 on my predicament.

Comment 6

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

dkl: Jesse's example seems valid. Given that two senior developers have been inconvenienced by this already, let's just change to FIXED bugs for now.

UNCONFIRMED and REOPENED have appeared in the status rolldown for bug 474070 and bug 411894, where they weren't present previously.

I'm marking this VERIFIED without having actually REOPENED those bugs -- feel free to REOPEN this bug with a comment if you have EDITBUGS permissions and cannot REOPEN an old bug which was RESOLVED with a resolution other than FIXED.

please raise a new bug if you are still experiencing issues instead of reopening this one.
