When the bug is marked as affecting you, it says "This bug affects me too" and when it's marked as not affecting you it says "This bug doesn't affect me". It also displays an icon when the bug is marked as affecting you. > The possibility to confuse users is still there. It should be much > more identifiable. Bear in mind that it's always difficult to display many different functions on a single page and have them all stand out.

I'm not a huge fan of using colour coding to represent states. I almost always find it confusing, rather than helpful, since it makes me remember the arbitrary colour mapping for every bit of information. I am also not sure that it's very important to display to the user which bugs affect them (other than for the purpose of allowing them to change their selection). Can you imagine a use case for looking for bugs which you have already marked as affecting you? Maybe we should make it possible to search for such bugs, in case you want to review them. For the bug listing, I much rather save the space for displaying information about what bugs are affecting other users. Tom
