Fair enough I forgot to select a component, but when I pressed back on the
broweser I had lost all the info I had typed in. Frankly I can't be  bothered to
type it in again. I such harsh punishment for a first time bug reporter really
necessary? How many other bug submissions from this?

I'm hit several times today by this bug, confirming, adding dataloss keyword
because I really hate it when I have to retype all the information for bug reports.

Updating summary, old summary was: "I tried to file a bug, I pressed submit, it
said I needed to select a component and to go back."

HJ: the bug you see is the recent regression.
But 20021016 is older than the regression, so it's the "older" bug they refer to
there. Whichever that is - but it means this is not a new bug.
This _is_ bug 179020, 
from bug 179020 comment 1: ...regression between ... trunk builds 2002032921 and
2002040108 ... 
and from bug 179020 comment 6: ... this is actually a very old bug (exists in
1.1) ...
