Description of Problem: On page : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/bug_status.cgi#bug_severity ( linked from the submit bug ( old style ) page ) 1.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. go to the enter_bug.cgi page 2. click the link "severity" 3. Actual Results: 1. Help page appears at the top, not scrolled down to the SEVERITY entry 2. The "Normal" severity level is not described. Expected Results: 1. Help page appears scrolled down to the SEVERITY entry 2. The "Normal" severity level is described. Additional Information:
Fixed. Thanks
I see no fix. How and where was it fixed ?
Oops missed a spot on the edit bug page. Really fixed now.
I still don't see any change. Altough sometimes it does scroll down to the SEVERITY entry, but sometimes it does not. I use winXP/IE6.0. The NORMAL option is still not added. I guess one of us is confused :-)
Added the normal entry since it was missing. Maybe IE is caching one of the old pages before I fixed the bug_status.cgi#severity link properly. If you have a free moment can you specify which pages do not link to the severity section (or any others) properly? I thought I caught them all but may have missed a couple.
It seems all ( OK, most ) fixed now. You can close this bug, as far as I am concerned.
Cool.
It appears again at the top, not at the SEVERITY part. Reason : URL is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/bug_status.cgi#bug_severity ANCHOR in text used is : NAME="severity"
Which part of which page contains this broken link?
Wrong link is on page : - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Red%20Hat% 20Public%20Beta The link is the word "Severity" , next to the listbox for selectcing bug severity. An a new problem : Page https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/queryhelp.cgi#severity is missing description of level "normal" ( for severity )
Red Hat's current Bugzilla version is 2.18. I am moving all older open bugs to this version. Any bugs against the older versions will need to be verified that they are still bugs. This will help me also to sort them better.
added URL. i got it from the show_bug.cgi page. ah. well, i was going to but i'm not allowed. here it is: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity can i suggest that one solution might be to remove the 'normal' severity? i've no idea what it means. if people aren't sure i suspect they're unlikely to bother reading the help - they're more likely to pick one of 'medium' or 'normal' at random (which is at most a minor inconvenience to developers) or else just give up (which is a major problem for redhat/fedora - hence the suggestion.)
Red Hat Bugzilla is now using version 3.2 of the Bugzilla codebase and therefore this bug will need to be re-verified against the new release. With the updated code this bug may no longer be relevant or may have been fixed in the new code. Updating bug version to 3.2.
looks good to me. the severity link goes to the severity section _and_ the "normal" severity has gone. yay! :-)
Thanks for verifying this. Closing. Dave
