When I eg. forget to select a coponent when entering a bug, after submitting I'm lead to an error page, that does only give me a warning, and tells me to press Back (which of course is not called "Back", and isn't actually "pressed" either). When going back to the previous page, in IE 6.0 I'm sometimes returned to a blank bugreport. Everything I typed upto that point, typically the entire report, is lost. Since I dislike having to create the same bugreport twice, I'd like to point out that such situations, which appear to depend on a combination of circumstances, can be avoided. This is done by attaching to the error-page a copy of the original form, but with the values entered so far already inserted.
This is a bug of Microsoft Internet Explorer. Use a more modern browser.

> This is a bug of Microsoft Internet Explorer. Use a more modern browser. Even if this were correct, and the reaction were not insulting, this would still not be a reason for ignoring it. But in reality, to the best of my knowledge, nothing in the descripton of forms in the standards states the results ought to be there if one browses back to it. It would therefore be a bug to rely on such behaviour.
It happened also to me. I learned from that. What I do is copying the content of my comments in the scrapbook (? CTRL-A, CTRL-C) and submit the change. I have no idea where to place such a hint. Regards Reinhardt
