Comment 14 for bug 78596

It may be that the detection cost is high enough that we don't want to do it for every rendering of the bug, but are willing to do it when the "Mark as duplicate" action is taken. However, we could still avoid showing the full traceback, which is fairly useless (unlike the message that precedes the traceback, which is useful at least until this bug is fixed).

Actually, one option would be to replace the traceback with a link to this bug! (Again, until this bug is fixed.)

By the way, John, if you feel strongly enough about it you can help fix this bug. See https://dev.launchpad.net/Help for how; the code is open-source, and existing developers are very happy to help potential contributors learn their way around.
