 We have several tickets in Trac that keep resetting their component fields
 to the first component in the list whenever the ticket is edited. Each
 time you pull up one of these tickets, the Component drop-down list shows
 the first Component in the list, not the actual Component value set on the
 ticket. This means if the user changes any data on the ticket and hits
 submit, the Component will be reset to the first Component in the
 Component list (unless the user notices that the drop down is incorrect
 and changes it to the right Component). If the user does change the
 Component drop down to the right Component and hits submit, the Component
 field will be right on the ticket, but the drop-down will be set to the
 first Component in the list again. There seems to be no way to keep the
 drop-down consistent with the ticket's actual Component, nor any way to
 get the offending tickets out of this strange state.

 The two tickets seemed to get into this state when the admin was editing
 the Component list through trac admin while a user had the ticket open.
 The user then submitted a change to the ticket, which put the ticket into
 this state. One of the tickets' Component field was changed in the
 offending edit, but the other ticket's edit did not touch the Component
 field at all.
