Reason: When you only add a comment and click the [Commit] button in the Bugzilla web from in your browser, then not only your added comment is sent to the Bugzilla server but all data is sent to it. Therefore when you only add a comment and click the [Commit] button also the other fields (e.g. also the "Component" field) is sent to the Bugzilla server so that on the Bugzilla server not only your comment gets added but also all other fields are set to the values that you have sent. I think you should get a "mid air collision" notification in such cases so that you are at least informed but I don't know the exact conditions when one gets such a notification. I think if the Bugzilla server could remember the set of values that it had sent to you and compare it with the set of new values that it gets from you and only update those values that you actually changed, then it could "just work correctly" even without any manual refresh action in your browser. Some drawbacks: For how long should the Bugzilla server remember the set of values that it had sent to anyone who has update permissions? One hour? 12 hours? How much memory would the Bugzilla server need to do this? How much data processing overhead would this cause? How much would this slow down the Bugzilla server? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
