Yesterday I successfully submitted a bug report, but only at the second attempt because of what I suspect is a failing in Netsurf.
I carefully completed the form on the Mantis site and submitted it, Mantis responded with an page indicating that the information I had supplied about the CI build was incorrect and that I should use my browser's back button to return to the form and correct the error. This I did only to be presented with a totally blank page from which to submit my report. Fortunately I had had the foresight to compose the report in Zap so didn't have the frustration of typing it all again so I completed the form and ensured the build information was correct and it was successfully submitted. I felt this apparent failing should be added to the bug tracker and, in the interest of reporting the issue accurately, decided to recreate the problem. I therefore wrote a report, leaving the CI build information blank, and submitted it expecting the failure message to be displayed so that I could perhaps enhance the report with more detail. Nope! The report was accepted. I could try repeating the process with variations on the build information until I got a failure but fear that I might submit a string of meaningless reports in the process with the result of irritating the developers and making a total **** of myself. I'm not sure what to do now other than suggest that, if you are sending a bug report using NetSurf, you compose it in a text editor nd save it before you hit the submit report button. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Brian Jordan >From somewhere in North Hampshire.
