Summary	0004880: Collapse/expand individual bugnotes
Description	Some of the issues stored in Mantis can be open for a long period of time with many notes added. Would love to be able expand/collapse individual notes to make viewing a longstanding issue more manageable. Ideally, the note's author and date stamp should still be visible when a note has been collapsed.
Tags	No tags attached.

djcarr 2010-06-11 00:21 reporter ~0025800	I think it would be very handy to have an option to collapse bug notes if they are more than say 20 lines long, and make them expandable with a click on a [+] symbol. When you have a lot of notes full of logging or code blocks this would make it easier to skim through them.

od2403 2013-11-01 06:05 reporter ~0038411	may I suggest an enhancement to the requirements? I think we could use a timestamp for last connection date/time to display bugnotes. for example, you have a bugnote BN1 on 28/10 and a bugnote BN2 on 29/10. if a user connects on 29/10 for first time, he/she can see BN1 & BN2 (both (expanded). if a user connects on 28/10 for first time, he/she can see BN1 (expanded), then if he/she re-connects on 28/10, he/she can see BN1 (expanded). Then if if he/she re-connects on 29/10, he/she can see BN2 (expanded) and BN1 is collapsed in a group "previous bugnotes" or something like this. collapse/expanded is [+] symbol feature.
