Description
I just discovered a truly horrible failure mode for submitting a ticket:
I just finished writing a 4-paragraph ticket and submitted it. Trac complained that "Your bug must have a summary." There should have been an edit pane below (like a preview) but there was not.
The description text was lost. Forever.
It was a total surprise for me, the user.
Even doing a browser Back did not help.
Very simple solution: 1) Javascript validator on BEFORE submit. 2) If more complex checking is required, ALSO make it like a preview where your description is kept for you.
This is fixed in Trac 0.11. See #1146, and many duplicates.
