I was not suggesting filing a new bug, but rather creating a new bugtask to the existing bug.

Re: What do I do with disturbing bug reports in Wine about system crashes?
For adding a task on an other package, I go to the pink 'Actions' menu in upper left, click on 'Also affects distribution', choose 'Ubuntu' as distribution in upper textbox, and the the package you guess the bug apply in lower textbox. Then click 'continue' button. I really suggest you guess the package. As a bug triager, that's what we invite bug reporters to do. So as a developer, your guess may well be better than what I guess anyway as a bug triager. Most bugs on Ubuntu get lost for a long time. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

What do I do with disturbing bug reports in Wine about system crashes?
Fairly often, I'll get a bug report filed against Wine about something that Wine shouldn't be able to cause - total keyboard deadlocks, frozen screen, being unable to even ctrl-alt-backspace or ctrl-alt-f1, etc. These are clearly not Wine bugs, but it's unclear to me where I should refile them. Wine's exposing a bug somewhere else (probably the driver or X), but what should I do?

Re: What do I do with disturbing bug reports in Wine about system crashes?
Just a thought, but maybe just categorize them on the wine tracker (those from the wine tracker obviously) with something such as 'Outside Bug' generically, or more specifically, if you can determine it 'Video Driver bug', 'X bug' and so on. On Launchpad anything like that should presumably be passed on where applicable to some driver tracker, or some-such, or marked as invalid if it's beyond your reach to triage it. I mean you shouldn't go out of your way to do research to triage and forward a misplaced bug report. by the same token, it shouldn't just be written off instantly either. I guess that's a long way to say that you should use your own judgment. This isn't an official statement by any means, like I would have the authority for that, heh, just some advice and thoughts from my past triaging.
