Please don't write NEWS entries in past tense like this - they're annoyingly ambiguous, as it isn't clear whether the entry is describing the reported problem or the fix for the problem. Describing just the new behaviour or the original problem and the fix is much easier to follow. For example:

Issue titles for actual bugs generally don't make good NEWS entries, as they're typically a summary of the problem rather than the solution (RFE's are different, as there the issue title is often a good summary of the proposed change)

Cheers, Nick.
