684147 - Dependency tree misleading, doesn't show bugs with an intermediate resolved bug

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 309108

(Bugzilla :: Dependency Views, defect)

Description

[Akkana Peck]

(Not sure if this is a general bugzilla bug or a b.m.o bug -- sorry if I guessed wrong.)

I clicked on "show dependency tree" for a bug, and got
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=256773&hide_resolved=1

It says "Bug 256773 blocks 7 open bugs:" and then shows me only one. Where are the other six?

The graph view shows the answer: the other six are hidden behind a resolved bug. 256773 (open) blocks 263693 (resolved) which blocks six open bugs. Granted, that means someone's playing a bit loose with the definition of "blocks" -- but that's life, so it would be great if the tree view could show them all.

Otherwise, it might be helpful to add some text explaining that some open bugs may be hidden (it obviously knows that, since it's showing the full count, not just the count of what's shown), and that "show resolved" or the graph view would show the rest.
