Why is the "submit issue" button not enabled? Let's tell the user #4575

fregante posted onGitHub

I filled in the form on https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github/issues/new/choose, but why can't I click "Submit new issue"?

It's easy to see why the button might be disabled if the form has 2 fields, but it's gets more difficult on larger forms.

I think on GitHub this form is only now appearing with the issue template forms, but we could apply this solution everywhere (ish)

Possible solutions:

don't gray out the button (might be difficult to contrast GitHub’s own code on this)
let the user click on the disabled button, but then call form.reportValidity(), which should cause the browser to focus the first [required] field, or at least show a tooltip

This sounds like a simple feature, except that [disabled] buttons ignore all clicks. We'd need something like this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32059136/288906

And then wrap the button with a proper handler (which is just if button.disabled, form.reportValidity()

Worth it?
