Re: Application testing for the new development cycle

2018-05-29 Thread Willem Hobers
So, I did some testing and forgot to let you know:

- 1587, gigolo: nothing wrong with the testcase, one or two questions
though; also seemingly a bug in gigolo:
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14416
- 1580, Xfdesktop Settings: some questions about things not being
entirely clear (to me), and perhaps a missing 
- 1558, Xfce4 Terminal: one suggestion

This could be as simple as the testcase calls for a button called Next

Re: Application testing for the new development cycle

2018-05-18 Thread Willem Hobers
I did the test-case for Gigolo (ID 1587). I have reported some test-case 
issues, and also some issues with gigolo itself. Please tell me if 
there's any more information needed or if I have not followed the 
instructions below correctly.
