Often I see something in the reopen queue, and I'm scratching my head trying to understand why it was closed in the first place.

This question Show the close reason in the top bar when reviewing Reopen votesShow the close reason in the top bar when reviewing Reopen votes seems to imply that the close reason is on the page but requires scrolling down. However, after opening the question, copying the close reason (in this case, "primarily opinion-based") and ctrl-Fing it, it's not on the page.

Am I missing something obvious? Does this vary from site to site and only SO shows the close reason (the site I was using was travel.SE)? Is there something obvious and intuitive I need to do to show the close reasons, like press ctrl-alt-enter-7 three times then click on an empty space? Or is it by design that I have to open the question to see why it was closed?
