Description

[Bas Schouten (:bas.schouten)]

While trying to change the component for a larger number of issues, I used this query to locate them:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?f1=OP&f10=keywords&f11=cf_performance_impact&f12=CP&f13=OP&f14=cf_performance_impact&f15=flagtypes.name&f16=CP&f2=cf_performance_impact&f3=component&f4=component&f5=component&f6=CP&f7=OP&f8=product&f9=component&j_top=OR&known_name=Performance%20Triage&list_id=17493667&o10=notsubstring&o11=isempty&o14=equals&o15=notsubstring&o2=equals&o3=notequals&o4=notequals&o5=notequals&o8=equals&o9=equals&query_format=advanced&resolution=---&v10=meta&v14=pending-needinfo&v15=needinfo&v2=%3F&v3=Performance%3A%20Memory&v4=Performance%3A%20Responsiveness&v5=Performance%3A%20Startup&v8=Core&v9=Performance%3A%20General&order=priority%2Cbug_severity&tweak=1

However at the bottom of the page the component field does not seem to have any content when using this query.

There is also a JS error on the page which maybe related:

[:glob ✱]

That javascript error is unrelated.

As components are per-product, the list of components is only populated if all bugs are in the same product.

The UI should make it clear why the component cannot be changed when bugs span multiple products - eg. replace the <select> with something like "Cannot change as bugs span multiple products".
