+choose-affected-product causes confusion

[Paul Sladen]

In the output of the '+choose-affected-product' page the user maybe asked to pick from a choice. Generally there is only one option given, which leaves the user puzzling, and likely to click on the Project name.

Clicking on the project name does not add the bug to that project, but instead takes the user to that project frontpage...

Ideally, the choice should be presented as a pre-selected radio button (even if there is only one entry), or the question should not be asked in the first place.

Yeah, this is not a nice UI. This is pretty low priority to fix, IMO, on the page itself. I would rather us fix this by making the "affects ..." story on the bug page inline editable and much nicer, so that we never have to click out to these individual pages. This won't change the page being bad for people who do not have JS enabled, but I think it's a better use of our time on the bugs team to take on the larger fix.

However, this page would be a great first fix for someone wanting to dip their toe in the pool of Launchpad development, and I would gladly mentor a branch if someone wanted to fix the +choose-affected-product page itself.
