Another dumb question from a newbie: multiple bugs on the same page = 1 bug?

[ninetydegrees]

I keep finding bugs on Manage Comments. I've already filed three and I could file two more. I'm afraid it's getting a little ridiculous. What's the policy in this case? Should I file the new bugs independently anyway, edit the last one and give it a vaguer title? What?

BTW are there any guidelines somewhere for using Bugzilla? I don't get when it's ok to reopen a bug and when it isn't for example.

A: Reopen when there is a problem with the fix itself: it didn't fix the bug.

Hm, I think that's a borderline case, and I think if you had reopened, it would have been fine (but since Denise said to open a new bug, you do that instead). It is directly related, but it also isn't something that makes the original change null or bad. There will always be cases where it's not obvious if it should be reopened or not, and this is one...I probably would have for this, but both options are definitely valid.
