-The current behavior is acceptable to bugzilla.mozilla.org and most users.
+Till Bugzilla 3.0.x, all this button does is to change the bug status to ASSIGNED, but doesn't reassign the bug to the user doing the change. Since Bugzilla 3.2, both actions are unrelated and you can independently change the status to ASSIGNED and reassign the bug to you.
-If you want to change this behavior, though, you have your choice of patches:
-[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35195 Bug 35195]
-seeks to add an "...and accept the bug" checkbox to the UI.
-It has two patches attached to it:
-[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=8029 attachment 8029]
-was originally created for Bugzilla 2.12, while
-[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=91372 attachment 91372]
-is an updated version for Bugzilla 2.16
-[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37613 Bug 37613]
-also provides two patches (against Bugzilla 2.12):
-one to add a 'Take Bug' option,
-and the other to automatically reassign the bug on 'Accept'.
-These patches are all somewhat dated now, and cannot be applied directly,
-but they are simple enough to provide a guide on
-how Bugzilla can be customized and updated to suit your needs.
