Bug Description

When trying to post a comment to a bug I got an error dialog with the message, "The following errors were encountered:". There is no list of errors, just an OK button in the dialog.

I think the problem is that my network connection dropped + I was offline when I hit the "Post comment" button.

LP version is 3.1.12 (r10081)

I had this marked High because I thought there would be some work in lazr-js to make error reporting better. This work has died, I think, since we haven't heard anything from it. This has to be a low priority for the bugs team until lazr-js gets better error reporting.

All of our error handling is an ugly, ugly wart that should be fixed, though.

Trying to get all the bugs about bad AJAX errors duped to a single bug on this issue, so I'm marking this a duplicate of bug 521447.
