to use the old form, instructions on how to switch back are below in the<br>
background information. The old form will, however, be removed one day,<br>
so please try to use the new one and make suggestions on how it can be<br>
improved.<br>
<br>
As some of you may already know, and maybe even have been using it<br>
for a while, the BMO [1] team has been working on a new bug view page<br>
(a.k.a. show_bug.cgi) for some time [2] . The older, stock bug form was<br>
not well laid out and was difficult to understand, with all of the<br>
fields visible regardless of how often they were used. The stock form<br>
was originally designed to display all of a bug’s data, and users had<br>
to adapt their workflows accordingly. The BMO team designed a completely<br>
new and more efficient view for the workflows of the majority of BMO users.<br>
<br>
The new bug-editing form has been added to BMO alongside the stock<br>
form and can be enabled by toggling a user preference [3]. We have been<br>
incrementally improving it and collecting feedback by those brave enough<br>
to use it early on. The new form is using more modern design practices<br>
and therefore is easier for us to improve and expand on. Any new<br>
enhancements will be done only on the new form going forward. It was<br>
code named ‘Bug Modal’ due to the modular layout of the page. Each<br>
submodule can be collapsed out of view and expanded when needed.<br>
<br>
At this time we feel that the form is feature complete and has now<br>
become the new default bug form for BMO. We have finished all the<br>
blockers in our tracking bug report [4]. The older, stock bug view form<br>
will still be around, and you can use the user preferences form to<br>
switch back to the old one [3]. In the future, we will be removing the<br>
old form completely after fixing a few more bugs [6], and we will make<br>
another announcement before doing so. Removing the old code will make it<br>
easier on us from a maintenance standpoint. Any bugs, comments, or ideas<br>
for improvement of the modal form can be reported in BMO [5].<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
