155120 - reassigning bugs to a product with no components gives 'browser' error

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 155119

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, defect)

Description

[Luis Villa]

1) Create a product with no component.
2) reassign a bug to that component.
3) Note that in the next screen you're asked to pick a blank component.  Hit the
commit button anyway.
4) since you've submitted with an undefined component (you had no other option!)
you get a browser error dialog.

So, this is awfully confusing for users who've been trapped by an adminstrator
who screwed up.

So... two possible solutions:
*fix process_bug.cgi to throw a meaningful error if the component is undefined.
*do the more sane thing and make it impossible (or at least much harder) to
create a product without immediately creating a component.

Note that this might also be correctly filed under 'administration' when we
refer to the better solution. </editorial>
