Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Reporting/Charting, enhancement)

For the summary graphs over time, the x axis always starts in 1999, with a
constant width of the resulting graph. Over time, this leads to increasingly
poor time resolution of the resulting graphs.
It might be beneficial to add the ability to specify a time window at
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/reports.cgi .
Potentially, even a corresponding window for the y-Axis (bug #s) might be useful.

This ability would make it easier to look at trends in the bug statistics (e.g.
changes after release dates, etc.).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/reports.cgi

Actual Results:  
There is now possibility to enter a time frame

Expected Results:  
Time frame might be useful - potentially a y-Axis window as well

The new charting module, up for review over in bug 16009, has this feature.

Oh boy - and I thought I did a thorough search before filing this ...

OK, since this is already covered in bug 16009: what should I resolve this as?
DUPLICATE, INVALID, WFM ... they all don't quite seem to fit.

This seems the best thing to do. I'll resolve this bug as FIXED when 16009 gets
checked in.
