Relating to No. 1 - I just added a multi-line note to 0010672 and it worked fine.

Relating to No. 2 - Note that # + 17 is not hyperlinked since there is no issue with number 17 in this bug tracker. However, as you might notice the # + 10672 above is hyperlinked properly.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback! In the future, please split bugs into multiple tickets even if they seem strongly related. We have the "related to" relationship to cater for bugs that are very similar to each other.

I have already fixed your first point in bug 0010646. If you'd like to use the latest version of the 1.2.x branch (including this fix) please use the latest version from http://git.mantisbt.org/?p=mantisbt.git;a=snapshot;h=master-1.2.x;sf=tgz

We'll have another proper 1.2.x release ready shortly.

Regarding your second point, please note what Victor said. I can't reproduce either (as you can also see in these notes).

Thanks. I'll be excited for the next 1.2 release.
