137394 - Incorrect default selection of OS/Platform.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 106993

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, defect)

Description

[Paulo Casanova]

If you submit a bug using a platform/ OS not in the list (suppose you have a
product which works only on Windows (yuk!) and are submitting a bug on a linux
machine) the default selection appears as PC/Linux. However, when the bug is
submitted, the values inserted are the first in the list.

  As far as I could see the "bug" is in CGI.pl (make_options). This is more of a
"design" problem because it is assuming that the browser people use to report
bugs is in the same platform as the developed application.

  More interesting if strictvaluechecks is turned on which reports a database
corruption which does not exist...

This was mainly fixed as part of bug 110012 - the selected item is marked as
SELECTED, so if it snot in the list, then no item will be, and you'll get the
first item done via the html specs. (make_options is no longer used for that)

The strictvaluechecks stuff was bug 106993, which was also fixed as part of the
templatisation.

Marking as a dupe of 106993, for want of a better option.
