Ah, reviewboard, I remember using that back when Mozilla used it. I quite liked it, was good for interdiffs.

Which reminds me, I filed a security bug years ago against it (using the mentioned Splat), and no one seems to have ever noticed/looked at it. #4614 if you're interested

Ah yes, I remember this. We did see it and looked into it at the time (and I've just gone over it again). It's really a different problem than it seems. Not a security issue, but I can see where it'd look like it. Kind of a terrible quirk with the unreliability of diffs.

We discussed it internally, but those discussions never moved to the bug. I'll follow up on there, give you an overview of why you saw the behavior you did and our rationale.

Thanks for the poke!
