      Interesting idea. read the FAQ to see how to submit an official feature request.

        Maybe a popup first to instruct the user to search for an existing occurrence of the bug they are about to create?
        And/or other informationals?

        Like the popup when one clicks on Settings menu > Edit Popup ContextMenu
        You get the information, then are allowed to proceed…

        I can see that if bug reporting is made “too easy”, more duplicates than are currently happening could result.
        Don’t get me wrong; bug reporting should be easy…

          PLUS…

          It is usually better for some bug/feature discussion to go on here (this site) first, IMO.

          A lot of things that users consider bugs are merely a lack of understanding.

          Developers probably won’t want to take the time to do what we do here.

          Of course, devs could just develop some boilerplate: Please ask this on the Community site

          Picturing some “bug reports”:

          I have this data where I want to remove commas but only when they occur after a number…
