Bug #40057	Changing in progress -> verified with no verifier unassigns bug
Submitted:	15 Oct 2008 17:28	Modified:	12 Dec 2008 18:43
Reporter:	Sven Sandberg
Status:	Verified
Category:	bugs.mysql.com	Severity:	S2 (Serious)

Description:
If a bug does not have a verifier, but has an assignee, and the status is changed from in
progress to verified, then the assignee field is cleared and the verifier field is set to
the person who was previously assignee.

How to repeat:
I've suspected something like this for a while, and was now able to reproduce it: see the
progress log of BUG#40056.

In the edit from 15 Oct 17:22, I'm 100% sure I did not change assignee or verifier.

OK, Jim is assigned, I'm changing In progress -> Verified, let's see what happens...

Ha! Reproduced the bug with the bug itself. Jim got unassigned by the previous status
change.

This bug seems to live its own life: it automatically set me as verifier for itself when
I verified it by the previous status change. Spooky. So the correct description is:

If a bug does not have a "Verifier", but has an "Assigned to", and the "status" changes
from "In progress" to "Verified", then "Assigned to" becomes empty and Verifier is set
to... hmmm... must be one of "Reporter" or "Whoever changed the status".

Assigning to Jim again...

OK, in the previous edit I forgot to change "Assigned to", it's not another bug.
