Some bugs take longer than others to fix, I agree, there are two things that get a bug fixed quickly, (1) it effects many users who complain constantly about it, or (2) it effects at least one developer who then has a personal stake in the fix. Do you think that the status will change for years other than; Assigned To: Nobody; OK to take it and work on it I think that the answer is NO. I'm sure that eventually someone will change status to NOTABUG and maybe try to explain why. I agree that it will not get fixed, but since the problem with the address book is actually an error, it would be worth sending a bug while it's in beta. Once it becomes a released version it's not a new bug and doesn't fall under the beta resources, so get the bug report in now! S Second, do the developers agree that this is a bug? If you delete an adress out of the adressbook, it's normal that it is also delete out of any distribution list where it appears. BUT, it's certainly a bug if deleting from a distribution list, it dissapear completey... It doesn't matter if the users think it's a bug, it only matters that developers agree it's unintended behavior. If they *want* it to work that way it's just another unfortunate design decision. So report the bug against beta, while there actually are resources to fix it, unless it's in TBird code, in which case it will not be fixed. -- Bill Davidsen david...@tmr.com We are not out of the woods yet, but we know the direction and have taken the first step.
