Description
Dani Megert
I can't replicate this using your steps in 3.0. The problems view will not bold if the list of errors is the same size as the one when the recalculation started. Please, try several times. It is definitely broken. I had this while demoing the
feature during a talk and then later when repeating the steps for this PR.

So mean if I have ErrorA and ErrorB and after building ErrorC and ErrorD it will
not change to bold since the size is the same? Well, that's a bug then anyway.
For sure it is a limitation that that is what we are doing - we were concerned about performance and so didn't explore a better algorithm in 3.0.. I'll reopen and rename it appropriate Stefan the issue Dani is seeing is that we do not show bold if the number of problems has not changed. As a result it is possible to fix a problem and introduce a new one but not get a visual indication. related to / dup of bug 75602. Note that I even see the bold title when there are no entries before and after a build. I usually filter anything but errors, which results in an empty view most of the time - I find myself clicking the problems view almost automatically to clear the bold title nowadays... It would be cool if 'bold' really meant 'something has changed'.

It would be cool if 'bold' really meant > 'something has changed'. Well, that leads to another question: in this case there are changes. Should the bould-ness be related to all changes or only to changes which aren't filterd? I think this should be configurable. Bolding is broken in since 3.4, see bug 282585. This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
