Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030304
Build Identifier: 

When I created a product without a description and later added a component
without a description, all looked fine until I tried to file a bug against it.

===> When I do that and only one component is defined, the browser complains
that no component is defined.

If I add a second component with an empty description field, again, no complaint
during administration, but the user who tries to file a bug just won't see that
component!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a component
2.Leave description empty
3.
Actual Results:  
component no available when trying to enter a new bug

Expected Results:  
component should be available, just without a descripiton or the admin interface
should complain

using Bugzilla Version 2.16.2

I can't duplicate this in 2.17.3.

The admin interface does allow me to create a product with no description, but
it does show up in the choose a product list.

If I go back and edit that product, it complains that I can't leave the
description blank.

the problem is'nt products with empty descriptions, but componentes with empty
descriptions that afterwards are inexistent

right, which is exactly what I reproduced on 2.16.2.  It works fine on the tip,
so it's been fixed at some point...
