That would probably about double the amount of time we take marking bug reports, and unfortunately that's not really in our best interests. When there's a visible bug, there are often 30 or more bug reports on the same issue (for instance, the parse error in the bulk mailer in RC2). I'd rather be fixing bugs, than showing members who didn't do a proper search why their bug was marked as a duplicate.

The developers can normally remember which issues they've fixed :)

Heck, many customers remember a lot of the fixed issues. For example, a particular Bulk Mail bug which was due to the same typo in two places of the bulk mail file.

I'll ask the stupid question, how do you know a bug is duplicate if you aren't checking first? Is it possible similar bugs are being marked duplicate when different problems do in fact exist?


Of course that could happen if the developer doesn't pay attention, but generally we're able to pick up on those sorts of things. We would typically only mark a bug report as a duplicate if we're sure it's a duplicate.
