And you saw your test pass? Then it is not a valid test case for the bug being test, because the bug is present in 2.5.0, so your test case should fail there.

I think I'm a little confused. Are you saying the original test should fail for me or that the test I changed it to should fail for me? The original test failed, my new one does not. As for documentating the intent of these tests, I don't think tracker items are visible enough. When I'm looking at the unittest itself, am I to always search the entire tracker for any bugs still relevent and pertaining to each test I look at? That seems contorted, and easy to miss. I'll check the tracker, and I'd like to add any information to the test itself.
