Hi Herbert,

I think we have some misunderstanding here.

It's an essential that information should be consistent at any place for Bugzilla.

Here an overview concerning priority /severity of the issues listed in the meta-issue;


   !  Critical  major     normal    trivial  ! Total
---!-----------------------------------------!------
P1 !    1         .         .         .      !   1
P2 !    .         .         .         1      !   1
P3 !    .         4         5         .      !   9
---!-----------------------------------------!------
Tot!    1         4         5         1      !  11

So my question is why Issue 114361 with severity "trivial" has been considered by godlike decision (there is no reasoning, neither in Issue 124985 nor in Issue 114361) so serious that it has been added added to the meta bug? With some minimum carefulness the severity would have been rised to "major" or more, the dataloss keyword would have been added, so that the decision will be comprehensible. I did that now in Issue 114361

Common known characteristics of unresolved Issue 124985 blocking Bug reports you find in Report [1] (More than 3400). So the question is why have 11 been picked as blocker for the meta issue, but more of 3400 not [2]?

With some minimum corrections for the criteria of possible Meta bug blockers I can reduce the number by 90% [3]

[4] Sorts these issues by priority /severity, the 12 with "critical + P2" need some urgent review as I did for "Issue 118725 - images dropped by random"
 <https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118725>
"Issue 122780"
 <https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122780> and others

And so on.

Such systematic working is the only way for real progress.

If after some work we have valid data in the bug reports Meta Bugs indeed can be useful to show up dependencies and relations what are not simply visible in the bug reports.

For anything else queries like
<https://issues.apache.org/ooo/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&list_id=149854&namedcmd=Potential411Blockers> (shared with registered users) are much more powerful, especially in projects with bigger community than AOO and much bug tracker activity (20 reports per day, not only 2).

Best regards

Rainer
