Bug is earlier, you are right, but commit is later.
The commit for this bug report has been processed in 2019-08-25, while the
commit for otter's update in 2019-10-12.
Thus most probably it is that last update that broke something. Moreover, that
update was not a normal one: commit message says

"The last official release was 1.0.01 in january 2019, way too long
  ago for a web browser. Many Linux distro's also offer weekly
  snapshots of this browser (often calling it 1.0.81). Instead,
  bump to a different fake release number; I'm concerned that
  1.0.81 might be too high."

and according to the Makefile the sources to build from are selected through a
git commit: GH_TAGNAME= 22de58d.

If we add to this that the most recent weekly snapshot (not the one in ports
tree) is considered likely to have bugs (see
https://sourceforge.net/projects/otter-browser/files/otter-browser-weekly300/
), then we can expect that the verions in ports tree can have even more.

I suggest to update otter to the very last weekly snapshot, then, if something
is broken, report it upstream.
