           Summary: Bug renames are not recorded in the visible bug
                    history
           Product: WineHQ Bugzilla
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: michael at araneidae.co.uk


As a bug evolves the original one line description may change to reflect
updates to how the bug is understood, or even changes to the underlying bug
being described.  Unfortunately when reviewing the history of comments on a bug
there is no visible record of changes to the bug title.  This can result in
confused conversations, or even can be used to mislead!

At the very least, each change in the bug title should be reflected as a one
line comment to the effect:


    ------ Comment #xx From blah blah
    Bug renamed from "old title here" to "new title here"
    ------
    <rest of update comment can go here>


Or whatever.  Make the changes visible, anyhow.
