A bugtask change followed by a bug change is rendered confusingly in bug comments

Bug Description
For example:
Changed in firefox:
status: Triaged --> In Progress
affects: oem-codes --> inkscape
Huh? The affects line is not related to the "Changed in firefox:"
heading, and refers to one of the bug's other bugtasks.
Previously it has been the case that we always put the bug changes
first:
affects: oem-codes --> inkscape
Changed in firefox:
status: Triaged --> In Progress
That's a bit better.
However, activity that happens at approximately the same time can now
be grouped. Previously only activity that happened at *exactly* the
same time would be grouped (i.e. in the same transaction).
To avoid confusion it is important to show activity in the order it
happened, even when grouped.
We need a way to display grouped activity more clearly.
One way would be to render the "Changed in <target>:" blocks in a
different background colour, or to alternate background colours
between blocks of activity:
| Changed in firefox: | <-- White
| status: Triaged --> In Progress | <-- White
| affects: oem-codes --> inkscape | <-- Light grey
There are probably better ways of doing thing though.
