Gord,

Can I make a suggestion to you. There is another way to submit bugs that
doesn't use the web-based interface to bugzilla. There should be a
program in your Utilities menu called 'Bug-Buddy' This is a druid that
basically leads you through all the steps you need to make a bug report.
The only disadvantage to it is that it doesn't let you search for
similar reports, but at worst that just means someone else will close
your bug as a duplicate of another, and you'll get an email sent to you
informing you of this. Please give it a try and see if it works for you.

PS. This is also what pops up if GnuCash crashes and asks you to submit
a bug report. When this happens it also automatically includes debugging
information that helps the developers.
