Summary: client side validation for Wine bug reports Product: WineHQ Bugzilla Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: bugzilla-unknown AssignedTo: jnewman@codeweavers.com ReportedBy: jeffzaroyko@gmail.com
Every now and then some bug reporters report a Wine bug that omits basic information such as the version of wine being used, instead it is set to unspecified.
It could be useful to remind people who try to submit the form with the version set to unspecified by issuing an one time alert that they should set the value to their current wine version.
A similar thing could be done for the URL field where people could be reminded to link to a download of the affected application.
I acknowledge that there are other bugs where 'unspecified' may make sense, but they are not as frequent so the impact should be low.
If the length of the input in the Description box can be taken with JavaScript, perhaps that could be checked against a commonly large length where people have pasted logs and a warning issued also.
