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.

I sort of flip a coin. That one was borderline; I said new bug because it wasn't *really* a problem with how the thing was implemented, since (IIRC) it was a problem before that patch, too, but I was working quickly and I might've been wrong.

Generally, if it's something that's a problem with the actual fix itself (it didn't actually fix it, it introduced a new bug, etc) I'll reopen, and if it was something that was left out of the spec of the original item I'll say new bug. It's fuzzy though.

Well, you've made it far less fuzzy. Thanks again.

Strikes me as a lot of this could be condensed for the 'intro to dev' on the wiki, possibly.
