[Bug 37875] Wine Bugzilla Interface doesn't inform enough users about logs

--- Comment #11 from Rosanne DiMesio <dimesio at earthlink.net> ---
I don't think the problem with the version field is that users don't know what
Wine version they're using or how to find out. 

I think the problem is that it's not clear that that field is for the Wine
version. If you hover your mouse over "Version," the tooltip that pops up says
"This version field defines the version of the software the bug was found in."
Is "the software" supposed to be Wine, or the app they're trying to run? What's
visible in the box for the Version field when first submitting a bug is:

20050628
20052725
20050830
20050930
unspecified

None of that matches the current versioning scheme for Wine, and it's unlikely
to match the versioning scheme for their app, so it's hardly surprising that
many users decide "unspecified" is the safest choice. 

Renaming the field to "Wine Version" might help, but having current versions
displayed on the bug entry form rather than ancient ones would help much more.
