Obligatory platform prefix in Bug reports

I was reporting a bug (or rather a dialogue glitch) that was platform-independent. The platform-prefix is obligatory and there was no possibility for "All", "Several" or the like. I put in Windows for the probably largest audience, though I'm a linux user. Could the possibility for "Multiple" or like be added? I can see why the platform is needed for a bug report as most actual bugs depend on platform and that forces people to see that it should be mentioned.

We'll think about it! I think the main issue is that we want to make sure people list a platform, and something like "all/several" can be vague or have people not describe the device they're on. For the bug you're experiencing, you can use the prefix of the platform you found the bug on, but mention that you think this affects other platforms too

In this case the problem is that if I put in "Linux" for a bug or glitch that obviously concerns more platforms, most people probably skip it, as I know I'm i a minority. Actually Linux/Windows and even Mac usually have the same problems!
Hmmm. Adding something like "PC" (opposed to mobile) would also help.
I think Mac/Windows/Linux is one version and the mobile version another?
