Package: reportbug
Version: 6.3.1
Severity: wishlist
When using reportbug, if a user mistakenly chooses an option that won't
work, s/he has to start all over which increases user frustration and
decreases the likelihood of user contribution of bug reports.
For example, I just tried to report a bug for another package. After
having written my bug report, I chose "report the bug with email"
thinking it would open an icedove compose email window, but instead
tried to use smtp. when this failed I was confronted with a dialog that
said this had failed and asked if I would like to retry. retrying
doesn't help of course, and answering no puts you on a screen where you
can "press enter to quit report bug", and my bug report was gone, I had
to start over.
I tried again, this time choosing the option "choose mailer", thinking I
would get the choice of icedove with that, but only got mutt & co. and
again no "back" button so I could choose something else (grrr...). I
again came to a screen where my only choice was to quit and loose my bug
report for a second time. On the third try I knew enough so simply save
the bug report and copy & paste in into my icedove compose window.
Having a "back" button would alleviate this and probably other user
unfriendly problems when the user mistakenly chooses the wrong option.
It's usually pretty standard that a user can go "back" if they see that
their previous choice has led them somewhere where they cannot continue.

As already said, a 'back' button is not available and there's no way
we can implement it, hence tagging accordingly this bug and closing
it.
