Actually these are not statuses, but resolution types: https://wiki.mozilla.org/BMO/UserGuide/BugStatuses Closed bugs typically have "RESOLVED" and "VERIFIED" statuses (there are other statuses for open bugs). Some Bugzilla instances have more statuses for closed bugs, e.g. "RESOLVED", "VERIFIED" and "CLOSED": https://lists.apache.org/thread/20yhc1mkjyty5jf4gw8mlmbqbkp4rb4m https://bugzilla.kernel.org/page.cgi?id=faq.html#q7 In short, the meaning of "resolved", "closed" and so on really depends on the bug tracker (not just the software like Bugzilla, but particular instances). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
