It seems the title was edited. This bug is now 20 years old.

Looks like the original title

I had also included the info of the parent comment in the title, but it was apparently edited down to just the title of the bug entry.

Oh I see. You can't put your comment in the title. You can put your comment in a comment, that's mentioned in the site docs - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
