Definition of a "Bug Report": Bug Report A software bug is an error, flaw, failure, or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result or to behave in unintended ways. What Is A Bug Report? The Essential Guide To Bug Reports! - Usersnap Usersnap My "issue"(bug): When I installed the Linux driver for my DCP, using the automated installer script, it pulled an older version of the "brscan4" driver: "brscan4-0.4.4-3.amd64.deb" This older version(0.4.4-3) has an error(bug) in that it crashes the "Simple Scan" app at 24-bit dpi(Photo) mode in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Manually downloading the newer(current) version of brscan4: "brscan4-0.4.5-1.amd64.deb" fixes this problem. The automatic installer script for my DCP(and perhaps all others?): "linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.0-1" is not pulling the current version of the "brscan4" driver and is installing the older one which crashes my scanning app(simple-scan) when using the "Photo"(24-bit) setting. Please ask the developers to update(fix) the automatic installer script: "linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.0-1".

WHAT HAPPENS INSTEAD Simple scan crashes when set to scan images. When scan button is pressed, the app seems to begin the scanning process, scanner takes the page (if on the ADF), the app shows as if beginning to scan and then suddenly disappears with no message shown. However if the app is launched again, the app opens immediately showing all pages scanned up to that moment (in text mode) except for the newly scanned photo, as if the app was always there and had never closed. When set to scan text, it is ok, but page size is much larger than actual sheet or flat-bed size (higher, actually, width is ok).
