Package: mantis
Version: 1.1.2+dfsg-10
Severity: normal

When creating a new bug report, if you forget to fill some mandatory
information, an error message tell you to press the back button of you
Web browser in order to complete your bug report.
The problem is that when you get back to the report page, all
information that you previously typed has disappeared.

This is a regression bug that is already referenced upstream.
See following tickets at 'http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/': 9655, 8161,
9323, 4001 (and maybe others).
I took a look at these tickets and it seems that the bug has been fixed
since version 1.1.3 by taking advantage of browsers caching ability
(which is not a real fix IMHO, but it's better than nothing).

My company has been using MantisBT since version 1.0.0a2. This bug was
already present in that version.
We upgraded mantis (and migrated it on a Debian machine at the same
time) because our users were really unhappy with this bug, and because
this bug was fixed in version 1.0.8.
Now, we would like to upgrade to version 1.1.x in order to use some
external stuff that requires a recent version of Mantis (MantisConnect
and Mantis plugin for Hudson) but we can't because this bug is back in
version 1.1.2.

IMHO, this bug should be fixed before Debian testing becomes stable.
When I have some time, I'll have a try with the mantis-1.1.4+dfsg-1
package that is currently in 'experimental'.
