Summary: Red-green colourblind people have trouble distinguishing between red/dark red (#f00 and darker) text and black text.

Steps to Reproduce: File a bad bug, get asked to repro or something.

Expected Results: Bug is obviously different than the others, perhaps by lightening the shade of red or by changing the shade of the row's background.

Actual Results: Other than getting an email it's not possible to tell at a colourblind glance what issue needs followup without using the web inspector or a colour loupe.

Regression: No, and a lot of software is guilty of this too. Don't feel bad.
