Package: reportbug
Version: 4.0
Severity: normal
1/ There are many cases where you want to allow empty inputs like for
example when you are told to leave the field empty if you don't know
your SMTP server but the code forbids the user to leave it empty. It's
even more problematic for the SMTP user ("leave empty if you don't
need SMTP authentication") where you are forced to put something
and that will result in a bad configuration.
2/ Yes/no questions should be asked with a checkbox in the main window
and not in a separate modal window.
3/ The selection of the mode (novice, standard, advanced, expert) is in a
non-logical order. The UI of this screen is horrible, a list is not appropriate,
I would suggest options with multi-lines auto-wrapped labels.
4/ Spawning a mailer at the end of the bug submission starts the mailer
in the controlling terminal (which might not exist if called from the
menu) and not in a new window.
