1241667 - Trying to report a bug traps the user in an infinite loop

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Nicolas Barbulesco]

Hello.

I am at the page developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/MDN/Feedback 
I follow a link to report a bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/form.mdn 
I choose to report a bug. 
I click Next. 
I "switch to the standard bug entry form". 
I write a summary. 
I click Find similar issues. 
I click My issue is not listed. 

Expected result:

I continue reporting the bug... And I succeed.

Observed result:

I end up back at the beginning: I choose (again) to report a bug... I write again a summary... I am trapped in an infinite loop. I cannot finish reporting the bug. So I give up.

It would be nice to fix this bug. 

Thank you.

Nicolas B.

I see where this is coming from and will take some factoring to make it work. We force certain bug forms for certain products and Guided is also performing it's own enforcement for certain products. The two forms are conflicting with each other.

Will take a look at this today/tomorrow.

that & needs to be &amp; and this would be better to write as

[% "&amp;format_forced=1" IF format_forced %]
