Bug Description
When I go to report a bug on something in Launchpad that has several Projects, I am first asked to write a Summary of the bug. If I do this and click Next, a textarea is displayed that lets me enter Further Information. So I go to the Further Information area and type in a nice long bug report.
I then realize that I didn't select the right Project from the the multiple-choice Project drop-down above the Summary area. So I pick the correct project and..... poof! The Further Details textarea widget is blown away, along with my carefully written bug report and so I have to write it all again (and file a bug on Launchpad :-)).
Thanks!

There is a fundamental flaw in this use case that makes this low instead of high. Most users cannot choose the correct project in a group of projects. Only those affiliated the project can place the bug in the correct project. Launchpad should not make someone choose the project. It does because project groups cannot have bug (or questions or branches). This can be fixed by abandoning project groups...nested project solves a lot of usability and community issues. nested projects would make this bug invalid.
