I am looking into the component change issue which is being reported by others
as well and is probable related to rolling over the open public beta bugs to the
stable release in Bugzilla. As for the other, if you are having to type your
username and password in over and over from one screen to the next, please try
editing your cookies and remove all occurances of bugzilla.redhat.com cookies
from your list. This solves this problem for most people.

Clearing the bugzilla.redhat.com cookies fixed the constant log-in issue. Thanks.

When I try to add a comment to bug 61917 I get to see this :

You tried to change the component field from AfterStep-APPS to hwbrowser, but
only the owner or submitter of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user, may
change that field.

At the moment there are still issues with Bugzilla entries which moved from one
version of Linux to another.

Comment 4 Quentin Arce 2003-05-01 19:58:14 UTC

So, Peter van Egdom, the user is not trying to change the "component" only add
themselves to the CC list.  Since all of this information is being processed at
the same area in the Bugzilla Code, it seems there is an error in this part of
the code, not an user error.  Is the source for the running version of Bugzilla
available for public viewing?  If you don't have time, let me know and I'll see
if I can find the problem.  I have done a bit of bugzilla hacking at a past job.

Thanks

I just tried the original excercise- and it works, I don't see a reason to keep 
it open!

Comment 6 Peter van Egdom 2003-07-31 20:02:19 UTC

I'm still experiencing this problem. I cannot (for example) use "Add Me to Cc
List" with the following bugzilla entry :

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53083

The following message appears :

"You tried to change the component field from AfterStep-APPS to kdebase, but
only the owner or submitter of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user, may
change that field."

Comment 7 Josiah Royse 2003-07-31 23:20:37 UTC

Peter van Egdom: You should probably open a bug on that specific case- unless
the redhat contact feels this should be re-opened as a general bug ticket
relating to all bugs of the same nature.

I closed it because I tested the original link listed didn't give me an error
anymore.
