 I caught this bug on libreoffice while doing some homework yesterday?

 Should I forward this to ubuntu-bugs mailing list?  Thanks.


No don't forward it to ubutu-bugs.

If you're sure it's not your mouse.  (and i tested it on 12.10 on some
config files in Libreoffice writer)
file it here and link your LP bug to it.
Here is how to file upstream:

Re: Daily build vs. alpha/beta

2012-09-15 Thread Phill Whiteside 
Hi John,

there is a thing called regression. Simply put, a minor bug fix then
re-opens a load of bugs that were in containment. This also can occur when
the devs bring together several bugs into one release. If they were to put
out one release per day / per bug. 12.10 could be expected about the
year 2020.

We use the alpha / betas as benchmarks, anything thing that makes things
worse is a regression,

I hope that explains things to you, please feel free to ask further
questions.

Regards,

Phill.

 Hello QA,

 I've been attending school for a few weeks now. I will get my act together
 and continue contributing.

 Anyway, I see that a lot of qa testers are trying out the betas and
 catching some bugs.

 I understand that the daily builds are the latest, up-to-the-minute Ubuntu
 distribution, but why do QA Testers flock over to the alphas/betas to go
 test for them?  Why do they not test the latest daily build in such droves?

 Most Ubuntu developers stick to the daily builds to do their dev work on
 it.  To what extent is the daily build useful for the QA Tester?

 Thanks, and have a good day!
