Bug 1020092

Description of problem:

I constantly work on RHEL issues and the component list box has hundreds of entries. Each and every time I need to scroll to the components of interest and that wastes time and makes me less productive.

In general any list box that grows beyond some configurable limit should automatically grow an edit box that allows you to type a comma separated list of entries which are equivalent to selecting the same entries from the list box.

This allows advanced users to simply tab and type into the various edit boxes without needing to pick from long list boxes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Current version.

How reproducible:
Configure bugzilla with 1000 components and notice how time consuming it is to pick components out of a 1000 entry list box.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to search e.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/query.cgi
2. Select `glibc' from the Component: list box.
3. Continue with the rest of your search.

Actual results:
It takes the average human 20-30 seconds to scroll through the list and find the entry, that's too long.

Expected results:
Type in `glibc' into a single line edit box for component and continue with the rest of the search.

Additional info:
As a workaround narrowing the components down by selecting Classification and Product doesn't help because the list is still too long.

As a workaround selecting the list box and typing `g' doesn't help because the list of things that start with `g' is still too large.

Note: This feature is present in other bug trackers. At least in Roundup (python based tracker) there is the ability to either type in a comma separated list of items or pick the items manually with either the edit box or list box being updated after the search to contain the same information.

Business rationale:
This would make using bugzilla much much much faster and save time doing searches when picking components.
