You mean "people", not "Windows users". Being able to describe anything in a way that is easy to understand is an acquired skill. The middle ground is already there - there are regulars on every list and forum with experience in the tools involved, and they can make it their task to convert "it is broken!"-type message into useful bug reports, or refer to existing ones. A recent example would be https://old.reddit.com/r/GIMP/comments/8ixiij/annoying_bugs_in_2100_with_selection_tools/ which resulted in the following two new bug reports: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796071 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796073 -- Regards, Michael GPG: 96A8 B38A 728A 577D 724D 60E5 F855 53EC B36D 4CDD _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
