I can select them: It Just Does Nothing!  Your browser config must be 
different to mine.  I ask about three common problems with bad web apps:
- Does the bug tracker require graphics? (My eyes are not good.)
- Does the bug tracker require Javascript? (I do not trust web scripts.)
- Does the bug tracker require cookies? (I do not let web sites store 
data on my computer by default.)

If any of the above are required, that requirement should be stated 
clearly on the web pages and some alternative accessible way to 
manipulate bugs (like debbugs's email interface) should be offered.
I'm a bit surprised if mantis can't be accessible, as I'm sure I've used 
it in the past, and I've not become blinder or less trusting recently!
Is it a configuration problem?

Update: just tried mantisbugtracker.com and it seems that I can't even 
search the bugs there.  Very disappointing.  I guess mantis is buggy :-(

Best wishes,
