It's a bad default for people that look at a bug the first time, but if you always watch the bug, then it is convenient to have the latest comments close to the top. Olaf -- Dr. rer. nat.

On not-first time I skip until I find an already read comment, then read from there to the beginning (scanning unread comments twice). With chronological order I skip until I find an unread comment and read the rest in the same order. So it could be better if there are very many previously read comments (unless the page being big is a problem for the browser). Fortunately, this problem can be solved by subscribing by mail to the bug (which makes the first read usability more important). signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
