271600 - Talkback should provide checkbox so erroneous URLs and comments won't be sent

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Talkback Client, enhancement)

Description

[Brian 'netdragon' Bober]

Talkback shouldn't remember an URL at all, or should at least provide a
checkbox, which is cleared by default on every crash, like this:

[ ] Use alternate URL
URL [                                                 ]

See also related bug 114394. That bug is about clearing the URL box not being
remembered.

i'd much rather bogus urls be included than have to retype it each time. i'd
actually like to be able to have talkback remember my comments too.

Since we don't have access to the Talkback source code, this is something that
may or may not be fixed in the future.

CC'ing Shiva because he is the only one that has any control over what gets
fixed in the Talkback code these days.

That's why there can be a checkbox, unchecked by default, so the wrong URL and
comment isn't automatically sent, like what I said in the description but also
handling the comment section... Then the URL and comments can be remembered, but
won't be sent automatically.

[ ] Provide your own URL and comment
URL [                      ]
Comment
[                                         ]
[                                         ]
[                                         ]
