CVE unlinking page (+unlinkbug) should have radiobuttons, not a text field

Bug Description

When choosing to unlink a CVE report from a bug report, the page (+unlinkbug) contains a "Bug Number" text field. This is horrible, because Malone already knows exactly which bug reports a CVE is associated with, and there are only ever a few of them. Therefore the form should contain a radiobutton for each bug report, instead of a text field for entering the bug number.

It seems, from the CVE's overview page, to be possible to have more than one bug related to a CVE entry.
Since the context of the page is CVE, how the form would know from which bug to remove the link without the Bug Number text field?

The context isn't CVE, but the bug.

E.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postfix-policyd/+bug/91607/+unlinkcve (which currently has no CVE anymore).

Matthew, I believe that when you first reported this bug you're talking about a page like: http://bugs.launchpad.dev/bugs/cve/2005-2734 is that correct?

If yes, that page seems fixed. From the CVE page, when you unlink a bug, the page displays checkboxes for each bug that you want to unlink.

I don't think that what Daniel reported is the same issue described here. It's similar but it's another page. The fix is probably similar as well. Displaying checkboxes for each cve that you want to unlink from the bug.

Btw, my vote is to close this one as 'Fix Released' and keep Daniel's one (bug 137328) open and confirmed.

Let me know if you're ok with this.

You're quite right. (And checkboxes are even better than my radio buttons suggestion, because you can remove more than one at a time!)
