Summary	0014842: Incorrect matching of versions in print_version_option_list()
Description	When comparing versions to determine which ones to include in the select list, a loose comparison is performed (==), so '1' matches '1.0'. This causes issues when editing a bug having a version currently obsolete, matching another, previously displayed version. In that case the obsolete version is not added to the selection list, causing data loss when the bug is saved (see 0013096).
Steps To Reproduce	In a project, define 2 versions as follows '1', released '1.0', released report a bug against version '1' set version '1' obsolete edit bug ==> The current version '1' should be displayed but instead is set to blank
Tags	No tags attached.
