Package: reportbug
Version: 3.20
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

When reportbug is launched, it requires a brief description of the
problem from the user.  I type my problem and hit return, and then,
reportbug tells me the summary is too long, and ask me to input a
shorter description. After that, all the data I previously key in is
lost. I think there should be some limitation on the count of characters to be 
typed in the summary or I don't know whether the summary I wrote is too long or 
not.  Otherwise, if it's too long, reportbug had better save the long 
description for later use, and prompt the user to input a shorter title.  Then, 
reportbug can automatically fill in the content of the final report which is 
opened in editor with previously saved long description.  This is not only 
fool-proof, but it also increase the usability. If newbies use reportbug first 
time, and don't know they should just input a title, and the full description 
can be done later, they will accidentally lost their bug report, and get 
frustrated.  The result may be they don't want to write that bug report again, 
and the bug cannot enter bug reporting system.

   [ Sandro Tosi ]
   * reportbug/__init__.py
     - bump reportbug version
   * bin/reportbug
     - resolved regression about not being able to select ui from cli, moving 
the
       check for attachments existance out of the ui check code. Now all the
       attachment files are checked for existance and it won't exit at the first
       missing. Thanks to Michael Meskes, Goncalo Marrafa and Florentin Duneau
       for the reports; Closes: #525407, #524857, #526054
     - added max number of characters allowed for report subject; thanks to Hong
       Jen Yee for the report and Carl Chenet for the patch; Closes: #364626
     - decode also email address (previously only realname was) when offering
       configuration; thanks to James Vega for the report and to Carl Chenet for
       the patch: Closes: #524297
     - clarified in the warning message that reportbug.debian.org superseded
       master|bugs.d.o as smtphost; also merged the check fo the previous 2
       hosts; thanks to Goswin von Brederlow for the report; Closes: #525856
   * reportbug/utils.py
     - fixed a typo in redirecting to /dev/null when calling lsb_release; thanks
       to Carl Chenet for the report and patch; Closes: #523684
     - handle import of pwd and tempfile in a try..catch, since they are 
platform
       specific, so that there is a minimum of functionalities available even if
       those modules are not present; thanks to Ritesh Raj Sarraf for the report
       and patch; Closes: #523816
   * bin/querybts
     - replaced the exit messages, with a less confusing one; thanks to A Costa
       for the report and to Carl Chenet for the patch; Closes: #358555
 .
   [ Luca Bruno ]
   * reportbug/ui/gtk2_ui.py
     - display report message in a dialog at the end, in substitution of pager
       and stdout
     - forward page when the user hits ENTER either on an entry or a menu
     - respect given order in menus
     - wrap text in menus and disable the horizontal scrollbar; partially fixes
       #521162
     - ui focus and layout improvements
