Description Rainer Bielefeld 2013-06-01 18:10:44 UTC

Steps how to reproduce:
1. Go to Bug 121420 (Bug [sidebar])
2. Click link  'Show dependency tree'
   > Dependency tree appears
   Expected: 100 or more entries
   Actual: only 3 or so           !

Additional info:
I first thought that only bugs where "Blocks" has been added after Alias creation might be shown, but it seems to be something different:

* Alias Creation:          2013-06-01 16:32:01 BST
* Bug 122144 "Blocks ...": 2013-04-23 12:11:18 BST
* Bug 122432 "Blocks ...": 2013-06-01 16:32:01 BST
* Bug 122433 "Blocks ...": 2013-06-01 18:51:03 BST

Might be a general Bugzilla bug?

I'm not sure there is something wrong here (but I may miss something, especially on the "Alias" stuff).

This is what I see:

1) In https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121420 "Depends on" has 115 issues listed. This is expected. Apparently we've done a very good job here, since only 3 are still open and 112 are closed.

2) The "Show dependency tree" link leads to https://issues.apache.org/ooo/showdependencytree.cgi?id=121420&hide_resolved=1 that shows only the 3 open bugs, under the title "Bug 121420 depends on 3 open bugs". This seems fine too.

3) If I manually put "hide_resolved=0" in the URL, i.e., I open https://issues.apache.org/ooo/showdependencytree.cgi?id=121420&hide_resolved=0 then I see all the 115 bugs. The title changes to "Bug 121420 depends on 115 bugs". This seems fine too. I haven't bothered checking in the Bugzilla UI the way to get to the same list without manually editing the URL.

Does this explain the behavior? I still can't see how the Alias fits in the picture, but the difference between #2 and #3 could be enough as an explanation.

@Andrea Pescetti 
That's exactly the description. I simply remembered to have seen quite a lot of bugs in the tree some time ago, after the "alias" change (what has no influence at all) I tried again and saw the few remaining bugs in the tree. Was afraid that I had broken something instead of simply reading the URL

Thx for investigation, so INVALID!
