I am fairly new, and I'm still working through developer docs, but I still can't understand why this bug was closed. It's a regression. I thought you were never supposed to close regressions unless either they were fixed or overcome by events. I am coming from another large project that uses Bugzilla. If an issue like this were to come up, it would have been left open with a special "Defer" target. So, why is Firefox team closing the bug rather than reassigning it or recategorizing it? --Kyle _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
