            Bug ID: 131432
           Summary: "Is OpenGL enabled" info link in LibreOffice Bugzilla
                    should open in new window so filled form info not lost
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: kaanchan at gmail.com

Description:
The bug entry form in for LibreOffice in Bugzilla
(https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=LibreOffice&format=guided)
has checkbox for "Is OpenGL enabled?"

The help text "Some bugs are only reproducible if OpenGL is enabled, thus
[checking] whether OpenGL is enabled is useful." contains a link which opens in
the same window/tab. 

This means that the info a user has already filled for submitting a form could
get lost. (In my case, Firefox preserved form info on pressing Back but this
shoulnd't be assumed standard browser behavior). 

It would be more user-friendly to open the info link in a new window/tab.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new bug (Some bugs are only reproducible if OpenGL is enabled, thus
checking whether OpenGL is enabled is useful.)
2. Scroll down to "Is OpenGL enabled?" checkbox
3. Click on "checking" on support text "Some bugs are only reproducible if
OpenGL is enabled, thus [checking] whether OpenGL is enabled is useful."

Actual Results:
1. Link
(https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/OpenGL#How_to_enable.2Fdisable_OpenGL)
opens in current window/tab (the form in process of being filled)


Expected Results:
1. Link
(https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/OpenGL#How_to_enable.2Fdisable_OpenGL)
should open in new window/tab


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
The linked page
((https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/OpenGL#How_to_enable.2Fdisable_OpenGL)
also has a link that is not accessible for Windows users
(http://www.realtech-vr.com/admin/glview). This has been submitted as another
bug.
