Why does the flagging dialogue think I've raised a flag I haven't? [duplicate]

Misleading text in flag dialog - "you have already raised this flag" when I didn't

Now, I raised "duplicate" flag. And I don't argue with the fact that "another reason" should be disabled. But the text should be different, as I didn't raise any "another reason" flags on this ...

Suggestion, change "This Type of Flag" to something less ambiguous
