Hey Guys

I always had problems with the bugzilla:

When I try to add a comment to a bug from someone else, I write my 
comment to the field and press Commit. I then usually get:
You tried to change the Assignee field from unassigned@gcc.gnu.org to 
__UNKNOWN__, but only the assignee of the bug, or a sufficiently 
empowered user may change that field.

The solution is - if I remember right - to select "Reassign bug to 
default assignee of selected component".


Now I tried to make a comment to a reopened bug but I can't since there 
is no option that works. I entered my comment, selected "Add to CC list" 
and this are the errors:

- Leave as REOPENED -> this one should work, shouldn't it?
You tried to change the Assignee field from unassigned@gcc.gnu.org to 
__UNKNOWN__, but only the assignee of the bug, or a sufficiently 
empowered user may change that field.

- Accept bug (change status to ASSIGNED)
I did not try that since I definitely don't ant that to happen.

- Mark bug as waiting for feedback
I did not try that since I definitely don't ant that to happen.

- Mark bug as suspended
I did not try that since I definitely don't ant that to happen.

- Resolve bug, changing resolution to ...
I did not try that since I definitely don't ant that to happen.

- Resolve bug, mark it as duplicate of bug #
I did not try that since I definitely don't ant that to happen.

- Reassign bug to unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
You tried to change the Status field from REOPENED to NEW, but only the 
assignee or reporter of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user may 
change that field.

- Reassign bug to default assignee of selected component
You tried to change the Status field from REOPENED to NEW, but only the 
assignee or reporter of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user may 
change that field.


So, what am I doing wrong. This can't be broken, can it? There are too 
much people using it...
