A standard for bug reports is always a good thing. A template for bug reports eventually built into leo could be even better. Perhaps a "Report bug" item in Main Menu -> Help that will display the content of this post. Something like Main Menu -> Help -> About leo... that would allow people to do a quick lazy copy/paste and fill in the gaps. Note that 1. - 3. can be auto-generated by leo, it already displays them in the log pane at startup. This will increase the quality of the feedback, because I recall at least one situation here when a new user didn't get the leo version correctly and I've asked him to check one more time. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
