Same here - I just tried to report a bug. Clicking on 'Preview'
(cautiously, with Adjust) appeared simply to open a new blanked version
of the form, ticking the 'I would like to add an attachment' icon didn't
allow me to add an attachment (I hoped this might appear at a second
stage of the submission process, as it didn't do anything when initially
selected), and clicking on "Save" took me back to the log-in screen
without any new entry showing up in the list. Page source is full of
JavaScript, but I can't tell how much of it is essential to
operation....

It doesn't look as if Netsurf users are going to be reporting many bugs
using Netsurf.
