Bug Description

To reproduce:

1- Go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad-project/+filebug
2- Type a summary and search
3- Type a long careful description of the bug you encountered
4- Notice that Launchpad has "Bugzilla Launchpad Plugin" selected in the Project dropdown because it's alphabetically first (which is questionable anyhow)
5- Click on the dropdown and change it to "Launchpad itself"

What happens: everything below the "Summary" search field disappears, taking with it all the text you entered.

What should happen: if the user's already entered text, don't hide or blank those controls.

I marked this High because it's pretty damn annoying when it happens, and also pretty unnecessary. However, project groups are reasonably rare, so I will understand if someone wants to downgrade it.

the ajax tag may be irrelevant - I'm not sure if ajax is hooked in or not

OK, it would have been more accurate to say this is a js problem, not ajax.

This is very nearly a dupe of bug 533946: if that was fixed in (what seems to me) the obvious way, by just putting the field statically in the form, then it would probably be fixed too.
