I have checked in this suggested solution. > What is the point then of telling me to « go to bugzilla » ??? > I just do not understand this group really. The purpose is that it allows to keep track of bugs individually. This bug was a simple one and so will probably not involve a lot of discussion or trial and error whilst fixing, but this is not true of all bugs. Some take a long time to fix, and some are fixed and then later on reappear. Having a specific bug report to gather together all comments, patches and reproducers regarding a single problem makes things a lot easier to track and resolve.
