It would be nice if one could select the component of a package when reporting a bug (should of course be optional).
It is really boring to report a couple of bugs and after that you still need to change the component.

You can AFAIR change the component directly after you pressed "Finish bug 
report" (or alike). Don't want to file a test bug now to test it. :-)
Comment 2 Andreas Beckermann 2003-01-02 19:19:52 UTC 
Yes, you can, but   
a) that results in an additional mail from bugs.kde.org  
b) you need to press on "back" in your browser in order to report another bug (or you have  
to re-enter everything again)  
  
I think it is just unhandy when you know which component you report a bug for.

Hi again. 
It seems this wishlist item is somewhat fixed... 
I just noticed that every component except the "general" component is listed in the 
applications list of the report bug form (I could not check for "general", as a search for that 
word returns every application and the list is unsorted) when you use the "all apps" filter. 
 
So - is this a bug or a feature? Well I find it very confusing that a *component* is listed as 
"application". In boson we use components for example for our graphics and package (rpm, 
etc) bugs. I just received a debian dependancy problem of KOffice because I didn't know I 
had to mention the application name... 
 
In case this is a feature feel free to close this wishlist item.

If you search for the right thing in the wizard, you will find it there. I think this is fixed, since it is now possible to select a component of a package.
