I was just entering a bug for Krita when I suddenly realized why I'm getting
two, three or more reports a day with no information in the description at all.
The duplicates block is so large that it pushes the description field out of
sight -- and the result is that people don't see and try to cram their entire
report in the summary line.
Would it be possible to switch the two blocks in the bug report template?
Are you sure that this is what happening?
I mean before you start writing the summary you can clearly see the Description
field. Sure when you write something into it the duplicates area may push it
away, but do people forget about the Description so fast?
I don't think it makes sense moving the duplicates block after Description, the idea of
the duplicates block is that you write the subject, then you get a suggestion of
duplicates and say "oh yes, this is a duplicate of my bug" and thus you don't
need to write the whole big text.
Maybe we can explore making the duplicate list smaller/scrollable/collapsible?
Also, if people are submitting the bug, they are scrolling down, seeing the
Description field and ignoring it anyway.
I tend to agree.
Could we maybe have the page throw an error if the template hasn't been
changed at all when you click the "Submit" button
