Would it be possible for Bugzilla to keep track of a users time spent on a bug
by implementing a Start/Stop button on the "show_bug.cgi" page?

Because of the amount of time skipping from bug to bug in our organization, it's
often been tough to keep track of time acurately.

Most often it would be helpful to do the following:

1) Press a <START> button to start a timer (say on bug #1).

2) pause (bug #1) by pressing start on (bug #2)

3) report the elapsed time on (bug #2) when the change is commited and return to
(bug #1) [because it's the last active timer]

4) report the active time on (bug #1) at "commit"


I'm sure this could be quite complicated to implement.  However, I think it
would be a very useful feature.

Thanks,

Al

Interesting, we have this with Mylar's Bugzilla Connector (http://eclipse.org/mylar) and were thinking of automatically adding the tracked time to some Bugzilla field.  But there's no default field that's good to use for that, is there?
