Description Lukas Ruzicka 2026-02-25 10:52:30 UTC
When Anaconda's crash reporting mechanism is invoked by a crash simulation using `rm -f /run/anaconda/backend_ready`, the user is asked for an API key and then is presented with a simplified dialog where they could describe what happened. 

This description, however is not passed to Bugzilla and the information gets lost.

I am attaching a video that show what I typed in the description field and the created bug that is missing the info completely and only shows system info, see 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2442592

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Anaconda WebUI
2. Crash it using the `rm -f /run/anaconda/backend_ready` command.
3. Fill in API key.
4. Fill in the description.
5. Report the problem.
6. See it in the newly opened bug.
Actual Results:
Anaconda passes incomplete information.

Expected Results:
Anaconda should pass all the fields completely.

Additional Information:
See attached video.

Proposed as a Blocker for 44-beta by Fedora user lruzicka using the blocker tracking app because:

 I am proposing this as a Beta blocker, because it violates one of the basic release criterion:

66-2.fc44, which fixed this, was manually tagged stable: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/releng/tickets/issues/13243#issuecomment-574310

so this is now resolved. Once the freeze is lifted, 67-2.fc44 will be pushed stable and replace it.
