Description (last modified by Alec Thomas)

I've got a Ticket with a changelog (as returned by get_changelog) that looks like this:

[(1139910447,
  'miro',
  'comment',
  '',
  '<long important comment snipped>'),  
 (1139910447, 'miro', 'comment', '', ''),
 (1139910447, 'miro', 'attachment', '', 'sshserver.py')]

The 1st 'comment' entry comes from an actual comment on the ticket. The 2nd 'comment' entry comes from the description of the attachment on the attachment table - ie, it is a row returned by the final SELECT clause in the statement which retrieves the changelog (line ~288 in trac/ticket/model.py). Since the timestamp and author on these two rows are the same, when the web ui builds up the change data set for the rendering pass (line ~420 in trac/ticket/web_ui.py), it does not create a new `changes' entry, but merely overwrites the first comment with the second.

It seems as though the schema is missing a reliable way to associate multiple pieces of change information with each other. The ad hoc time/author mechanism cannot be counted on to work in all cases.

I've patched my local version of trac like this in order to temporarily work around the problem:

Forgot to pre the changelog, here it is again:

[(1139910447,
  'miro',
  'comment',
  '',
  '<long important comment snipped>'),  
 (1139910447, 'miro', 'comment', '', ''),
 (1139910447, 'miro', 'attachment', '', 'sshserver.py')]

How did you manage to enter a ticket comment and attach a file at the exact same time?

This happened while migrating another bug tracker's database to trac.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

I believe this should be fixed with the [3364/trunk/trac/ticket/web_ui.py] changes (the uid = date, author, permanent part).
