Description arne anka 2012-05-28 17:28:56 UTC 
trying to report a bug from the "report bug" feature inside a kde application doesn't really help to save work -- except application name and operating system (if "Linux" does not happen to be the default value, that is), nothing is picked up from the url.
although everything is there, i have to select manually platform, version.
isn't the whole idea of the "report bug" thing to pre-fill those values?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to help -> report bug
2. watch a browser open with an url containing all needed information
3. find those information missing in all relevant fields
Actual Results:  
neither platform nor version are selected

Expected Results:  
use the contained information to select/fill in the relevant fields

For the version information, I think that depends upon whether the version of the application you are using has been added in the corresponding product on BKO. 

For example, I'm using rekonq-0.9.61, but that version is not added in the rekonq product on BKO. So the result is "Unspecified". Try konsole as an opposite example. I'm sure the version information will be correctly selected if you are not using some quite old version.

just filed a bug against amarok and noted, that the version was in fact selected -- but not scrolled into view. this was with konqueror, so i don't know who is to blame here.
anyway, as for your answer: shouldn't there be a connection to the VCS or whatever creates those version numbers of the supported applications that lists the actually existing versions instead of adding them manually?

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Dear Bug Submitter,

This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? This bug will be moved back to REPORTED Status for manual review later, which may take a while. If you are able to, please lend us a hand.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

This should be working now, and we do create the versions automatically.
