Or even a separate OS field with "Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, *BSD, Other" as the options? It is not uncommon when code written on Unix can affect both MacOS and Windows, so you need to be able to select both. Yep, if adopted, it would be a multi-select field. We already have "Macintosh" and "Windows" in the multi-select component field. It would be nice if the bug interface didn't grow more complicated than it already is.

That's where the discussion started - whether or not moving that information out to a separate field would actually be an improvement or not. I don't use the tracker intensively enough to give a considered opinion.

Cheers, Nick.
