Mantis integration with the tools would be handy, I must admit... Think,
having found a method with problems (doesn't cover larger areas of problem,
I admit) to submit a report, categorised by default to its package, with,
perhaps, a new better version... from a menu option in the browsers...

Or perhaps the debugger stack trace, rather than just an email option. Maybe
we need something between Mantis and the tools that could match similar bug
reports...

Just my thoughts at this time.
