I am working on a bug tracking system, below are two design/layout I have for the 'add new bug' feature.
Screen 1
Screen 2
Which of these two screen look more intuitive ?
Any help or suggestion are also welcomed. Thank you.

To what level of user will this be exposed? 1. a newly added bug cannot be anything but open, right? 2. I'm not convinced severity/priority is something an end user should be able to suggest?– Ulrich SchwarzSep 14, 2013 at 18:03

@UlrichSchwarz I totally agree with your first point, while adding the bug, the status select box make no sense. I love this site !!!– Yasser ShaikhSep 15, 2013 at 17:41

From speed of the interaction perspective the first design could work better.

I forgot to add a field named "Projects" where in the user select the project to which the bug needs to be added. Where and how should I position this field ? Sep 15, 2013 at 16:25

@Yasser It depends on the typical task flow. But assuming Project is a higher element in a hierarchy I think project selection should be somewhere before adding bug and could be displayed in the breadcrumbs, i.e.
Home>Project name>Bugs>Add bug. Sep 15, 2013 at 17:07
