1580909 - Javascript error on New Bug form causing the default setting for showing advanced fields to be ignored

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Bug Creation/Editing, defect)

Description

[Mike Hoye [:mhoye]]

I'm finding myself clicking "show advanced fields" a lot when I'm entering bugs.

If possible, could I have a toggle somewhere in my account that causes showing the advanced fields to be the default behavior on bug creation?

Thanks.

There's a javascript error on page load, which means the code which reads the "show advanced fields by default" cookie is never hit

Bug 1522341 added the bug_type field as FIELD_TYPE_SINGLE_SELECT.

bug/field.html.tmpl expects all SINGLE_SELECT fields to be implemented as <select> in html, and calls initHidingOptionsForIE() on them, which explodes when it doesn't see a select object.

We should probably nuke all the code for hiding options in IE (exists for IE7 and earlier).
