<rant> That is not the point, Tom. This bug was only really a matter of a file having been dropped. But the devs have spent more time fiddling with how it is listed than if they had just added the missing file. More importantly, the most recent change was apparently made because in trying to reopen the bug I failed to do things the way they want them done, though there is no documentation of how that is supposed to work. Specifically, the documentation states: "Version: The "Version" field is usually used for versions of a product which have been released, and is set to indicate which versions of a Component have the particular problem the bug report is about." In many bug systems that means the reporter can in fact select all the versions in which the errors appears, but this product does not allow that. So what is one to do? Especially where a bug has been closed. I reopened and set the version to the most recent version in which I observed the bug. I thought this would be reasonable especially in as much as the history reflects the initial appearance of the bug. So then a dev steps in and changes the version, stating, "'Version' is most old version where bug is reproducible. Not current version. Changing to 3.3.1 back" I DID then change it back to 3.5.2 and commented that devs should spend time writing tracker context help instead of fiddling with bugs that were never going to be fixed. My response IS NOT productive (as was initially noted in this list, lol) but isn't it so much fun to be passive aggressive? > Don't go! If you do you will be missed! Thanks for that (and I did get a chuckle from Marc Paré's reference to the wiki provisions on top vs bottom posting, lol) but life is too short to piss into the wind. It is one thing to work collaboratively with people who see things differently, another to labor in the dark with no one listening - did you see any comment from any dev on THIS list apologizing to users, acknowledging issues, etc? Maybe if we start a discussion about whether paragraphs are appropriate in list posts we could attract some attention? I don't know that I am "going" anywhere..... but I am certainly not interested in putting in time to run down bugs if this is how users are treated. </rant> -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
