From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040804 Description of problem: attempting to add a comment, with resolution NOT changed, gives ... Not allowed You tried to change the Resolution field from no value to NOTABUG, but only the owner or submitter of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user, may change that field. Please press Back and try again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. fill out only the comment area 2. click to submit 3. Additional info:
When you back up, is the "Leave as <something>" radio button checked? If it is set to something else then Bugzilla thinks you are trying to change the status. Some browsers may not set this properly when rendering the page. Does this occur with the Beta or older version of Bugzilla?
This is all occuring with the version of bugzilla at bugzilla.redhat.com, and it just happened again, using FireFox 1.0 and trying to leave another comment; when I back up, yes, indeed the select buttons are ALL unchecked, so if I check "Leave as ..." the comment goes through. Also, on "Leave assigned" all options were also unchecked, but leaving those as they were did not appear to bother bugzilla and the comment went through. On this page, however, I see the "Leave as" button IS checked; perhaps because I had just checked it on a previous report form? Could be this is a mozilla issue ...
Sorry, that bugzilla address was not correct: This behaviour was experienced on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=150699
Strange, I am unable to replicate this myself. I have heard rare occasions where certain browser versions can behave unpredictably and not selected a default radio checkbox properly which will cause it to submit something the user did not intend. I have also heard cases where text fields were left blank where text was supposed to be. Are you coming into the bug report through normal means such as clicking on a bug_id in a query list? Or hitting back a few times from another page you went to after viewing the bug?
I'm using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041118 Firefox/1.0 -- and I typically cut the URL for these links from the email and paste into the location bar (I've done this now for this post) because my default browser is the text-mode w3m (I hate design-noise ;) I'll just click OK on this now, and see what happens ... if there's no more from me added after this paragraph, then it worked this time ...
Hmmm ... worked. Maybe it's one for the Journal of Unreproduceable Results :( Let me exit the browser and come back ...
Both buttons are checked ... ok, let's mark this a non-issue for bugzilla until I can reproduce it again. Could be any of a thousand reasons, if it happens again, I'll try to narrow it down better. sorry for all the trouble.
No trouble at all. I appreciate all of the help and patience. I know it has been reported by others but is very elusive and I have never been able to explain it or reproduce it personally. If you do figure out anything later please let me know.
