[Bug 11118] New: client side validation for Wine bug reports

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11118

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: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

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.

This would help Bug 11115 too.

That should be fixed in Bugzilla upstream, Newman/AJ prefer to keep the diff to
a minimum.
