Bug Description

This is just a small usability thing.

I tried to file a bug and used quotation marks in the "Extra options" which led to one error being reported to me by launchpad.

It was a bit hard to find what the error was because I couldn't see the text hidden by the folded "extra options"

BTW: Why is it not allowed to group tags in bug reports? It makes sense to me to have tags like "radeon hd 4670" instead of "radeon" "hd" "4670"

Thanks for the bug report. As for your question, we use - as a tag delimiter rather than spaces, so radeon-hd-4670 would work. Every tagging system has it's own delimiter. Some use quotes to group as you note, but we don't.

I think this is a dupe, now.

I did a dupe search when I triaged this and found an older, confirmed but never triaged, bug. I duped it against this one, since I had triaged it.

Hi Deryck, thanks for your explanation.

Could you add a comment (something like: "use a - to group tags. e.g. foo-bar") to the tags field explaining how to group tags, please? I suppose it will be helpful to users that don't know what both of us know ;)
