Description Ian Malone 2007-06-28 13:28:11 UTC
Description of problem:
Entering bugs against Fedora using guided bug entry
causes Firefox to slow down to the point of unusability
when selecting the component to report against.

How reproducible:
100% across FF 2 on WinXP Pro, FF2 on Fedora 7,
FF1.5 on FC6. IE7 on WinXP Pro shows similar
behaviour.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select guided bug entry
2. Click next until "select product" select Fedora
3. Click next to get to "select component" page.
  
Actual results:
Firefox takes 100% cpu.  Dragging the scrollbar
for the component list is very slow, and one releasing
the mouse it snaps back to the start of the list.

Expected results:
Should be possible to select your component.

Additional info:
This is effectively bad enough to prevent guided
bug reporting for Fedora using Firefox.

IE7 on Windows XP spins at 100% for a while, but
does bring up the component list eventually.
Before the component list comes up the selection box displays:
Template::Document=HASH(0x1907370)

After loading IE7 reports errors on the page:
Lines 742, 713, 684, 655, 626, 597, 568, 539, 510, 481, 423, 278, 191, 75
Char: 1
Error: Object expected

Line: 225

Guided bug entry is indeed broken at the moment and is being looked at.

Comment 3 David Lawrence 2007-09-12 14:38:45 UTC
This should be fixed now. Please reopen this bug if the problem persists.

Comment 4 Ian Malone 2007-09-12 15:07:13 UTC
If 'current' is 2.18-rh as currently at bugzilla.redhat.com then the scrolling
problem described above persists in FF 2.0.0.5 on F7 and 1.0 on WinXP (the two
versions I have here to test on). IE6 on WinXP works, though it reports the
error on the page:
Line: 187
Char: 9
Error: 'tms' is undefined
Code: 0
URL: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided

Proceeding through the reporting process I find that the version select menu
shows the same problem but the architecture select menu does not.  Will check
again later and reopen if the problem has not resolved itself.
