Is there a reason, why you report the same bug twice? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 570200 *** My understanding was that if you are reviewing a new version of openSUSE, it was okay to submit a separate bug entry. The first one applied to openSUSE 11.2. Since it had not been addressed in openSUSE 11.2. I noticed it again in openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 1 and the problem still persists. So, what you are saying is that a tester can only create a single bug entry for more that one version of openSUSE? Please clarify as I'm still new to Bugzilla.

Yes, it would be better to change the product of the bug to the newer version with a comment like "Still reproducible with openSUSE XYZ." Okay. Thank you for pointing this out. Can we see this issue resolved when openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 2 is released? (In reply to comment #4) > Okay. Thank you for pointing this out. Can we see this issue resolved when > openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 2 is released? I do only bug screening for KDE bugs on openSUSE so I cannot tell you for sure, but I doubt it, as there are much more critical bugs to be taken care of. I understand. And, I agree, we have more critical bugs to be addressed. However, this bug was not fixed for the entire version of openSUSE 11.2 including all milestones. Now, I'm seeing this happen again with a very new version. I thought we could "nip it in the bud" early. The thing is that information missing from "sysinfo" is important for all users - new and old users. We also have people reviewing the distro for possible purchase not to mention magazine reviews. |
