This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
When opening a bug report, the checkbox "Add me to CC list" is checked by default, and that's fine, because when adding a comment you will be automatically subscribed to the report. But I see no reason to select it when I'm the reporter. The logic on the page would be simple (pseudo code): if (logged_in_user != reporter) { add_to_cc.checked = "checked"; }
