This was fixed in bug 241814 (the second attachment), but no official Bugzilla
package includes the code yet, since it was fixed on 13th of December 2004.

The part of that patch that fixes the problem is:

-  onload="selectProduct(forms[0], 'product', 'component', '__Any__');"
+  onload="selectProduct(document.forms[0], 'product', 'component', '__Any__');"

You can:

-> wait until 2.18 (or 2.18rc4) appears
-> apply the patch manually from that bug
-> change "forms[0]" into "document.forms[0]" manually in the source code
(although that fixes only a very small part of the problem)
-> upgrade to CVS tip (trunk)
-> upgrade via CVS to the BUGZILLA-2_18-BRANCH (the latest code of the stable
branch)
