Bug Description

When a bug report's summary is changed, and there's another change in the same notifcation e-mail before the summary change, the Subject line of Launchpad's e-mail notification is the old summary instead of the new one.

This happens whether the notification is for a new bug report (it happened when bug 70006 was created) or an existing one (it happened when bug 69919 was changed). It only happens if you change something, for example the status of the bug, before you change the summary.

This bug is caused by the batching of the change notifications. When the different notifications are batched together into a single e-mail, the subject is simply set to the first notification's subject.

the batching has changed several times recently, I'm not sure this is still valid.

Changed in launchpad:
importance: Medium → Low
summary: - Resummarized bug report is mailed with old summary
