Anyone who takes time to file a new bug is adding some value to the project. It may be more or less valuable, but we shouldn't give the impression that we don't want to hear about the problem. > If the issue no longer exists it's just wasted time, and if it does > still exist the reporter should make the effort to verify the issue > indeed still exists in 4.6.1 or later. Ideally, yes. But not everyone can do it. It's better to have 10 reports for already fixed bugs and one for a bug that still exists than to have neither of them. If you have an example where time was wasted as a result of the availability of the older versions in the bug tracker, I may reconsider. > > "None" is hardcoded, "All versions" is not.

I generally assume the bug reporters to be intelligent persons who can make there own judgment how to file a bug. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
