Comment 0 for bug 617698

When forwarding a bug upstream using launchpad using the 'Also affects project' link and then clicking the 'bug filing form' link, the Summary gets pre-populated but the Component field (among other things) does not.

With bugs #617679, #617691, #617693, and #617695 solved, it should then be straightforward to enable filling in of the Component field on this form by passing component as a GET parameter.
