[website-dev] issue tracker: description of *Testproduct

Greetings,

I recently wasted a developer's time by entering the same issue twice.
Is this the right place to question the instructions that led me into
that mistake?  Is there somewhere else I should go?

The page "Enter issue" <http://www.openoffice.org/issues/enter_bug.cgi>
says of component *Testproduct 

        New to IssueTracker? Please select this component if you want to
        learn how to submit and comment on issues. Do not use this
        component for real issues.

I took this as an invitation to experiment, and I used the opportunity
to check that the way I was typing the problem description would
preserve reasonably well the layout of the message box that I wanted to
report.  This created issue 109177.  I liked the result, so promptly
created issue 109179 against component Word processor.

Now, I see that I have wasted the time of [email protected]
to deal with 109177.  And he must have taken the time to run a query to
find the duplication, because I did nothing to link the two.

I do not know what *Testcomponent is, but it seems not to be for the way
I used it.

Thank you for your attention.

Cheers,
Terry.
