When using the -Hide option, it hides the changed order status in account_history_info page when the order is viewed by the customer, but it doesn't seem to hide it in account_history page or when viewing the latest orders on account page.
Can anyone confirm if this is a bug or have I missed something in the upgrade?
I'm using version 1.39d upgraded from fresh install of 1.38a.
Um ... it hides the private comments fine. Such comments are never shown on the "account_history" page or in the list of "latest orders on account page".Quote:

2. index.php?main_page=account_history says the order status is "processing"
BUT, if the -Hide option is supposed to only hide the comments (which I didn't add) and not hide the new status of the order, why the order status is unchanged in account_history_info:
3. index.php?main_page=account_history_info&order_id=xx says the order status is still "pending"
Oh, that's clearly different than how you first worded it. I see what you're saying now.Quote:

I'm not sure why you'd make an update to Processing be hidden anyway, but I'm sure there's a reason (it would be helpful if you would share it).
So, just add *another* update (with or without unhidden comments) for the status you want them to see.
We'll consider looking at this small display issue in a future release. But hiding updates to status changes doesn't make sense, and that seems to be what you're asking for. Why do you want to hide it from your customer?
Sorry about the confusion.Quote:

I didn't know *this* was the minor bug.
So, I'm not trying to hide status updates from actual customers, I was just testing the new feature and misunderstood how it is supposed to work.
