contect. please dont use tags without knowing what they are.

what do you mean? be more specific

in which panel is this happening? report the exact steps to replicate
this issue (and what the exact issue is, as it not clear at all)

No i dont, you need to be specific and on topic, and not using a
mocking language (what's that, pascal? who's relevant here?)

surprise, because you might have hit the close botton by mistake and
we dont want screaming users to complain they lost their reports
because they hit close

So report them, one by one, with precise and exact information on how
to replicate them and how you would address these glitches.
if you use the word 'epic-fail' in the subject, you NEED to provide a
quality report, which this is absolutely not. I didnt close it just
because I want to hear what you have to say, but it has a very low
value (if any at all).

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.6.3
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch
Ok, I see this is using python-vte for the UI. Im not an expert in UI
programming but.
the following applies:
we should detect if python-vte is being ran.
Reason behind this is that UI elements and only UI elements apply and affect a
UI application. You cannot close a UI application but hitting enter unless
someone default selected a close button. Nobody has done so. This results in an
empty input dialog and nothing happening. The text input dialog is not needed
in the UI.
IIRC, you can still issue a pause command in linux..but if not its only a few
lines of code to add in:
writeln("Press any key to continue..")
line:=readline;
Ok, well this is python but you get by drift.
And of course I want to close reportbug if I click on close button. Why does it
ask me?
Similar UI glitches abound in the UI of reportbug in various areas.
