Subject: [Interest] Bug Reports
Hi All,
I'm frustrated by what has happened on the last bug report
<https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-71296> I posted yesterday.
Why would this get closed in this way so quickly? Could there not have been
a comment just saying "Did you make an error with the test case?" before
closing it? And then give me 24 hours to respond perhaps?
I'm trying to help improve Qt. I don't see how closing the bug for this reason
in that time is doing the same.
Hi Dan.
I apologised for this earlier [1] in case you missed it.
I took it to be a simple case of user error, which is not uncommon as Allan
mentioned. I take all the blame for not putting more though into it and hope
that this doesn't deter you from submitting bug reports in the future.
Please also keep in mind that a bug report being closed is not a final
decision, and that we are prone to user errors too. :) It's nothing personal.
That being said, the issue with leaving a comment and not changing the state of
the report is that the request for more info is sometimes not provided and both
parties forget about the bug report, adding to an already massive backlog of
reports. Not to say that closing it was the correct course of action here, but
just trying to give some background as to why we close reports that appear to
be invalid.
Regards,
Dan.
