Steps to reproduce:

It seems that Bugzilla only checks for the title of the bug when showing Possible Duplicates.

E.g. I have created a bug called: 

update to 1.1.0

and the existing bug for the same component called:

mypaint-1.1.0 is available

has not been displayed in the list.

Of course there are only 5 similar characters, while 19 are different, but these might be enough if the comp is the same.
The reason it ignores 1.1.0 is because we split words on punctuation characters and then ignore strings shorter than 3 characters.

Summary: RFE: Possible Duplicates functionality could be improved → possible_duplicates() ignores strings of the form "2.0.3"
Thanks for pointing the current behaviour our. Could we perhaps improve the 'ignore' logic in such a way that numbers (which are most often version numbers) are not ignored, even if they are only one digit?
