Comment #23 on issue 7468 by krtulmay: Regression: Lost focus on "History", "Downloads" pages and "Find-in" box http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=7468
But the flip-side of that argument is that no matter what the default search for issues is doesn't mean all that much, especially for a bug-tracking application, and especially for users who get to the point of going to the bug-tracker and wanting to submit a bug. Users of a bug-tracking application should have the cognizance that any potential problem they wish to submit may have already been identified by someone else and may also already be fixed. Their first step should ideally be to search for potential existing issues to avoid unnecessary duplicates and review already reported details that may aid/relate to their issue. For this bug specifically, the current Verified state is definitely the correct status. What else could it be? It's definitely not any of the investigative states because the resolution is known and already implemented, and also been verified by QA. You don't question the status of the bug just because people are not searching for it properly. The onus of using a bug-tracking application successfully is on the users to think carefully and search effectively. Of course, it may help if the default issue search was for All Issues, but then you will have the other side complaining that they only care about open stuff left to be resolved. (Perhaps default open is better for developers?) Regardless, bug-tracker users need to comprehend the need for searching closed issues and any other search parameters to use a bug-tracker well. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
