Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 365129

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, defect)

Description

[timeless]

the setup is a bit strange, so first here's what i was trying to do:
migrate an unfiled bug from Browser:Internationalization to
MailNews:Internationalization
Steps: enter a bug, use the bookmark option get
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?cc=smontagu%40netscape.com&cc=&assigned_to=&blocked=&bug_file_loc=&bug_severity=normal&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&comment=in%20bug%20181711%20comment%203%20there%20is%20this%20string%3A%20%22output%E2%80%94that%22%20in%20mozmail%20the%0D%0Abugmail%20instead%20had%20%22output%E8%91%89hat%22&dependson=&form_name=enter_bug&keywords=&maketemplate=Remember%20values%20as%20bookmarkable%20template&op_sys=Windows%202000&priority=--&product=Browser&rep_platform=PC&short_desc=bad%20character%20set%20detection&version=Trunk
change "Browser" to "MailNews", load url.
reselect Internationalization.
reclear the url field.
reenter the blocking value (i'm not sure whose fault each of those are, most are
filed...)

Here's the problem that caused the problem: Browser and MailNews have different
versions v. |other| - bug 182988.

Here's the problem i want fixed: If there's only one option for a field (meaning
that it's mandatory and not really an option) we should:
1. automatically select it (for enter_bug) even if there was bad input beforehand
2. not actually use a select widget (in enter_bug)
3. automatically coerce bad input (for post_bug) to the only acceptable value
