Change status from comment to defect or vice versa.
I made a poor assumption using Smart bear for the review - I entered all my issues as comments. I have a habit of never presuming that my comments are actual problems. I had assumed that if any of my comments were deemed to be defects, the reviewer could change the status from "comment" to "defect" with relative ease. As it looks with the current implementation of Smart bear, all of my comments will need to be re-written as defects. This will take time and effort as Noah is going through it right now. It might be worthwhile to contact Smart bear to see if they could update their software so a reviewer and/or author could re-categorize their issue entry with only a couple clicks. This way any time a comment turns into a defect or a defect turns into a comment, the issue doesn't need to be re-written.

Not everyone will agree what is a defect and what a comment in the course of a review. Allowing these to be 'firmed-up' later would be better IMHO.

If implemented, this will be a very useful feature.
