159737 - Form Manager doesn't save radio button element state information

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Form Manager, defect)

Description

[Bill Hobbs]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020722
BuildID:    2002072203

I'm currently unemployed and visit several job boards for leads.  I thought I
would have Mozilla's form manager to fill in the search forms with the values
that I commonly use.  It appears that the forms manager does not store radio
button values at all.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. tools -> form manager -> edit form info; click remove all saved data button
2. go to http://www.dice.com/jobsearch/
3. make entries - in my case: "vms or openvms or dcl or vax or ingres or rdb",
boolean, first four entries in state list, 7 days, 50 jobs, 2000 matches
4. tools -> form manager -> save form info; click ok button in alert
5. go to http://www.dice.com/jobsearch/
6. tools -> form manager -> fill in form

Actual Results:  The boolean radio button is not selected.

Expected Results:  It appears that radio buttons are not stored at all.  I think
that radio button values could be stored in the url specific category.

I think I understand Morse's point of view at the above comment as storing
values that are common to many different web pages, like name, address, phone. 
I am trying to store values that are specific to one web page that I visit
repeatedly, there is no need or desire to share the values with other pages.

Confirmed using Mac/2002080208/9.2.2. The Form Manager doesn't save radio button 
element state information.

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.

Since Mozilla is no longer supported on Mac OS X pre-OS X I am attepting to test
the remaining open bugs (all 175 of them).

The test client will be the Mozilla (SeaMonkeys) 1.6 running Mac OS X 10.3.2

Result/Status: Valid bug, all OS's?

The current implementation, satchel, does not and won't save radio button values.
