OK, that makes sense, yes. Thanks for the pointer!

I see now that it also says “Append Remark with format” in the edit dialog page 
for the field which I thought should have contained the comment.

That’s fine then.___

i assume you're expecting to see the original comment text there, awaiting
editing? Fossil doesn't actually let you _change_ anything, so it's not
going to show you the old comment here. It can only amend new info to a
ticket, not replace anything. Thus the edit field is empty each time you go
to edit a ticket (i just tried it out on the main repo). e.g.

https://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/tktview?name=c541b6e734
vs
https://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/tktedit?name=c541b6e734

[fossil-users] Fossil's ticket edit dialog page seems broken, since the ticket's comment is not displayed at all

2016-04-23 Thread Marko Käning 
Hi folks,

---

>First of all< I want to say that I am delighted with this SCM system,
after having used CVS, SVN, Mercurial and Git for quite some time...

I’ve liked to use Mercurial with the b extension to keep my bugs in
source control together with the code...

... but fossil is way better! There’s not only a ticketing system, but
also a wiki and lots of other goodies!

!!! Great stuff !!!

===


I’ve installed fossil’s version 1.34 using MacPorts on OSX. The web UI shows
this version string:

Fossil version [62dcb00e68] 2015-11-02 17:35:44

---

And now to my first issue:

  For some reason fossil's ticket edit dialog page (/tktedit?name=ARTIFACTID)
  seems broken, as it doesn't show the actual ticket comment which had been
  entered previously by its creator.

  However, the information has been stored in the database, as it gets
  correctly displayed using the ticket view dialog (/tktview?name=ARTIFACTID)!

  Also clicking the “Preview” button does not miraculously show the ticket
  comment in the "Description Preview”.

So, what’s this about?

Could it be that the edit ticket page’s code in /tktsetup_editpage got borked?
I haven’t touched that at all up to now. It’s all in virgin state.

Ideas?

Greets,
Marko
