Details
Split up the description window for a new bug into following parts: Reproduce: Actual result: Expected result: Proposed fix: (seen at messages from ducarroz@netscape.com) This could help bug-reporters to specify what is needed. (Especially newbies, like me... P-) ) It might also be usefull if these parameters would initiate an auto-query (before the bug gets submitted) to stop bugs of becoming duplicate entries.

http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/bug-form.html does this. Is this what you had in mind?
i think what he's looking for is the same kind of mechanism that cvs uses on commitinfo. that if a new bug has a description that doesn't a particular template, that the new bug entry fails until he uses the standard one. OR, that the initial bug entry form have a default template. both are good suggestions.

Well - yes and no - the explicit step to search for a bug should be ommited, since the entry afterwards does particulary the same. So the first part of the description should be used to look for similar bugs (which would reduce the work of the developers - there simply would be less duplicate bugs). In the second step there could be a listing of similar bugs. (from which an old bug could be chosen and commented - think of other ways to reproduce or other OpSys) Only when the bug really is a new one a new bug-file should be opened. So the current form is good, but only a step to the final solution! BTW the forme might be condensed to 1-2 pages!
