Hi guys,

Do any of you find that Bugzilla's interface is counterintuitive at times? I'm particularly thinking of the following scenario which has just bitten myself and Archaic recently:

1) User submits a new bug.
   i. Status => UNCONFIRMED
   ii. Owner => [email protected]

2) We naively log into bugzilla and 'Accept' the bug
   i. Status => ASSIGNED (great!)
   ii. Owner => [email protected] (whoops!)

OK, this behaviour is detailed in http://www.faqs.org/docs/bugzilla/faq.html#faq-use-accept but it isn't what I expected, nor apparently what Archaic expected either - we thought it'd assign the bug to the user we logged in as.

So now we do:

3) Reassign bug to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    i. Status => NEW (ouch!)
   ii. Owner => [EMAIL PROTECTED] (great!).

and finally

4) Accept Bug
  i. Status => ASSIGNED (great!)
  ii. Owner => [EMAIL PROTECTED] (great!).

So, it's now taken us 4 steps to assign a bug to ourselves!

Sorry for the long explanation, I just thought it necessary to point out the pain we've just been through. So, do you guys suffer from the same, or have you got a workaround for this cumbersome workflow?

Regards,

Matt.
