Description Wolfgang Hospital

2009-04-03 14:02:56 EDT

Build ID: N/A

Steps To Reproduce:
1. disable ECMA-Script execution
2. claim to have a new bug to enter
   (meet the "Bugzilla &#8211; Enter Bug wizard")
3. spend hours filling in form
4. try and use the "Continue to the final step."-button


More information:
For whatever reason, some use the web with most automatisms turned off most of the time.

For hypertext browsers, "noscript" offers a mechanism to hint at a suboptimal user experience before wasting a noteworthy amount of effort.

(The ttl of the session cookies seems to be abysmally low: re-authentication more often than not.)
(I'm going to use a deep link, probably.)

The Bug entry wizard will be going away in favour of a guided entry form.

The guided entry form is in place, so this should no longer be an issue.  Please reopen if it still is.
