Description of problem: Currently, the "Refresh Components/Versions/Milestones" button reloads the page, and any field changes made on the old page after clicking the button are lost. Please make it work without reloading the page, so that the user can continue setting fields while waiting for the component list to download. This will shave a few seconds off the search process for some users. The implementation may be as simple as restoring the original AJAX update code but running it when the button is pressed rather than when the classification or product field is changed. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/query.cgi 2. Select classification "Fedora" and product "Fedora". 3. Click "Refresh Components/Versions/Milestones". 4. While waiting, clear the status field. Actual results: The page reloads, and the status field reverts to the default of "NEW" and "ASSIGNED". Expected results: The component list updates, but the status field remains clear.
Red Hat has now upgraded to Bugzilla 3.6 and this bug will now be reassigned to that version. It would be helpful to the Bugzilla Development Team if this bug is verified to still be an issue with the latest version. If it is no longer an issue, then feel free to close, otherwise please comment that it is still a problem and we will try to address the issue as soon as we can. Thanks Bugzilla Development Team
The problem is the same in Bugzilla 3.6.
Bugzilla originally came with jscript that did this type of thing when you selected a product, but as Red Hat's component lists per product grew the jscript that was downloaded to the user's browser grew significantly. Fedora for example has 6000+ components for one product. This caused Firefox and others to slow to a crawl and made the query.cgi page unusable. The refresh button was added so the jscript could be removed. This is more an issue with query.cgi needing to be reworked completely to help with this problem as well as other problems making it not very intuitive. Upstream has some improvements in the upcoming 4.0 release but not sure it addresses the large component list issue. We will need to work with the upstream to figure out how to solve this as I am sure more Bugzilla installations will start to run into this as well. Dave

query.cgi is back to bundling the entire component list with the initial page, so this bug does not apply.
