I don't think this is a bug. Simply put, you can't preview your attachments online. Preview them on your computer before you upload it.
The attachment only gets uploaded when the post is posted

Some people might want to see if they're attatchment appears correctly in their post though... Like a picture in their post... I think that might be the only reason they see it as a bug

yes, and you can do something like that so i just keeps the dir in the Attachment box so it would be easier so post then to find a file again especialy if its hard to find, you could lose something very important there

It's not a bug - it's a limitation (well security feature) of the file upload field - not allowing us to set a value for the field.

You have to upload it after you've previewed.

The other option would be for WDZ to install a more recent version of MyBB which supports multiple attachments and also works around this problem.

yes that would be nice or just just make it so it keeps the input put in the box (eg. c:/program files/some game folder/game picture.jpg) so that we dont have to look for the file again

Not possible. Read what Chris said...

(If a value could be set by the page author, then any file could be stolen from your PC as long as the exact path was known)

i dont think you need to find bugs to post threads. :)
Just simply post threads what you think are useful.
