    while adding a bug it is possible, to specify os, database and homepage. In my special case, database and homepage are useless, os is only of little use. Is it possible, to define something else for those drop-down-menus, or totally delete them?

      I had to do this also.
      It is possible, but you'll have to get into the code.

      All you have to do is change the forms in the php or html file to input a hidden value instead of displaying the dropdown.

      Then you also have to mess around with the layout in order to make it look decent again.

      You also have to make sure that the hidden value you input is a valid one. If it's not, then the bug simply won't display.

      Also, remember to go through the rest of the pages and make sure that the field isn't showing up there either.

      Hope this helps

      Just use CSS to hide the form elements you don't want displayed.

      I rewrote the html templates to be XHTML strict, so I wrote a rule for the optional fieldsets, but if you want to leave it as a table layout, just apply the following style to the elements you don't want visible.

      Add to your css file:

      .optional { display: none; }

      Apply style to table cell:

      <td class="optional">form element here</td>

      Or:

      <td><span class="optional">form element here</span></td>

      The great thing about using CSS for this is that, if you change your mind later, you just edit the CSS rule, and your form elements display again.
