Showing the right bug comments
Some bugs attract many, many comments.
For a while now, Launchpad has displayed only the first 80 comments on any bug report, with the option of viewing the full comment history. That’s been good for speeding up page loads but not so great at offering an accurate view of the current state of discussion about the bug.
Bryce has fixed that. Now, a bug report page still shows only 80 comments, by default. However, to give a better overview of the state of discussion, it now shows the first 40 and the last 40 comments.
So, half way down the comments you’d see something like:
Here's what you see in the middle of the bug comment history
Then, at the bottom of the summarised comment history there’s this:
Comment history summary
With any luck, this should result in new bug comments that take into account the most recent discussion.
