Details

bugzilla does not allow you to enter a bug when the product has spaces in it's names. this can be fixed by changing line 257 and 258 of enter_bug.cgi to: <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=reporter VALUE=\"$::COOKIE{'Bugzilla_login'}\"> <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=product VALUE=\"$product\"> we also change line 257 just in case logins have a space.
Setting all current Open/Normal to M4.
Clearing "M" field since Webtools product is not used for 5.0 specific project bug metrics and will mess up our queries on milestones.
Reassigning to dmose@mozilla.org, who now has front-line responsibility for all Bonsai and Bugzilla bugs.
Reassigning back to me. That stuff about me no longer being the front-line person responsible for Bugzilla and Bonsai turned out to be short-lived. Please pardon our confusion, and I'm very sorry about the spam.
FYI: I checked the latest Bugzilla code and it looks like this bug has been fixed. I did not test it though.

I just bet spaces in product names is busted somewhere else. Someone needs to prove otherwise before I'll close this bug.
tara@tequilarista.org is the new owner of Bugzilla and Bonsai. (For details, see my posting in netscape.public.mozilla.webtools, news://news.mozilla.org/38F5D90D.F40E8C1A%40geocast.com .)

Arg. This is me thinking evil thoughts at terry for leaving placeholder bugs lying around forever. *sigh* Downgrading since no one is screaming and I'll have to set something up to test this.

Tara said this was in "pending" status waiting for someplace to test it. Now we have landfill. I'll give my personal opinion that it's fixed though. I (as well as a few other bugzilla installations) have been running for several months now with products with spaces in the names and haven't run into anything except for the bug graphs, which was recently fixed under another bug. My personal opinion is that this should be closed, since the specific case described in this bug has been fixed, and bugs for other specific cases that are discovered can be filed separately much more effectively than leaving this one here hoping no one finds anything broken...
i concur. spaces in product names seems to be working well, and i haven't gotten any recent complaints. marking as closed. if someone finds another instance of this bug, they can write a new one.
