136379 - autodetected build info on "enter bug" page should not be thrown away

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 107085

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, defect)

Description

[Leston Buell]

Near the bottom of the Bugzilla "enter bug" page, the user is told that his
build informatiopn has been autodetected. For example, today i see:

     Some fields initialized from your user-agent, Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; 
     Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020408. If you think it got 
     it wrong, please tell [e-mail] what it should have been.

"Some fields initialized" gives the user the impression that these values will
be automatically included in the bug he is filing. However, only the platform
and operating system is actually initialized.

Bugzilla should not be throwing the build ID away. How many times do we have to
tell a bug reporter that he forgot to include his build ID? 

I would suggest that this build ID be put in the Description text area, but
maybe you have other ideas.

since this is actually a Bugzilla issue (and the bug isn't fixed yet) moving
this to Bugzilla and duping.
