Made changes for your first comment.  You second is interesting - there is work happening to make it easier to add a comment to an existing bug via bugs.java.com and have added this for the case of reopening:

* if you find a similar issue that was closed as "not reproducible" then it may be appropriate to re-open that one - if you don't have direct access to JBS you can file a bug at [bugs.java.com](https://java.bugs.com) requesting that it be reopened.
