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

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.

Maybe she just knows that if I get another bug reopened I will cry big tears ;)

No, seriously, that was a tricky case. If you had reopened it then it would be assigned to me (I think) and so if you wanted to fix it yourself it was best to open a new one instead of going through the trouble of you asking and then me having to say yes.

Thanks for fixing it!

I didn't want to fix it because I didn't know I could but it turned out I think I did (it hasn't been reviewed yet) and found other issues while testing the patch so it's all good in the end.
