        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…
