I had almost forgotten this bug. Good thing I searched for it, because I was just about to open the same one again ;-) Just as confirmation, this is still happening. Example: FATE 317696 Rebase libpfm4 >= 4.5 I received email updates for + #16: Tony Jones <tonyj@suse.com> (2015-02-05 17:37:50) (reply to #15) ... + #17: Tony Jones <tonyj@suse.com> (2015-02-05 17:39:19) (reply to #16) ... But can't see them via the web interface. I had settled for "works as designed" a few years ago, but since you reopened it yourself: This is annoying. It's not really a problem for IBM, since I am documenting all comments from FATE in the IBM bugzilla, but if other partners of SUSE are working directly on and only with FATE, they might miss essential information.
