If you suspect that a bug has been fixed or is now invalid, then ask that question in the bug.
But I agree that "later" really ought not to be a resolution (because really a bug marked LATER has not been resolved), but rather a status or prioritization. When I do searches across all the open bugs, I do not habitually say "and also ones that are Resolved but only if they've been marked Resolved--Later". And probably most people are making the same omission. Mark H., what do you think? Also, is there a way to make Bugzilla's default search include resolved bugs with the Later resolution? -- Sumana Harihareswara Volunteer Development Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation On 11/29/2011 02:02 PM, Diederik van Liere wrote: > But then the bug should be NEW, nobody is checking for a bug that is marked > LATER.
