I understand what you're saying, but my statement was concerned with the fact that it was your demo: Not knowing what the demo was I opted for the general view that this was reported by a standard user, who is often naive, which I judged from the 'bug report'. Most naive users do not understand the 'bug reporting process' and many do not want to be educated because they see no benefit to it: They just want to play the game (or whatever the app is).

Cheers,

Luis.

Surely that's where two way communication comes in handy?

With Rev having hundreds of bugs to go through, anyone serious about
getting their bug fixed would be wise to create:

1) a clear explanation of the bug
2) a recipe for replcating it
3) if possible, a demo stack showing it

Furthermore, those who wish their bugs fixed can also do a bit of
research by contacting other developers here to confirm the bug before
posting it.

Typically, when I discover a bug in Rev, I try first to break it down
into it's simplest components and try and create the most
straightforward and basic recipe for repeating it. Then I create a
simple bug demo stack, post it online and ask others to verify it.
Once verified, I then post the bug, with the stack, to bugzilla. I
have found this methodology has enabled most all of my reported bugs
to be fixed in a very timely matter.
