I have reported some things which appeared at the time to be bugs, and where the unwanted or unexpected behaviour no longer occurs. While it's nice to see that bugs can be fixed so quickly, it would be nice to have some comment here, for example, adding the bug report number when it's picked up, and a later comment to say that it has been fixed.
Topic on Talk:Structured Discussions
The stream of bug-activity can be seen at here for example (the last 2 weeks of bugzilla "changes" in the Flow component). It's difficult to update prior reports, because they originally come from a large variety of locations (wikis/mailing lists/IRC/direct email/trello). The move to Phabricator should eventually ease some of this, but it'll still be complicated because everyone files bugs in different styles and with different amounts of context.
(I am personally backlogged on filing bugs, and reading/replying to comments, on all wikis. However, I do appreciate the testing and bug-discovery you've been doing in the Sandbox. Thanks again!)
Thank you for the pointer -- I had previously not been aware of the existence of that page.
Nonetheless, for the future, when I report a bug here on this page, and the report is read, and mapped across to Bugzilla, I would appreciate some indication that notice has been taken of my report. In addition, the link you gave is much less useful without knowng the Bugzilla reference number. I do not see that as some kind of optional extra if users' bug reports are considered an integral part of your development effort. Perhaps if your team is too busy to do this, you should ask us to hold off reporting bugs until the team is able to deal with them appropriately?
Re: the bugzilla link - it's just a basic time-limited search. The columns that appear (in any default search) can be configured for yourself, by clicking "Change Columns" at the bottom of the page. (Strangely, the ID (reference number) column appears for me at the far left, in all my test browsers (including anonymous modes). Does this version work differently for you? (It looks the same to me, but it specifies "id" in the columnlist).)
Re: backlog - Danny is currently working on a documentation/timeline update, which should help us all discuss "a few topics at a time" rather than "everything at once" (which is a core part of the reason we're so backlogged). That is hoped to be ready by next/this week. So, please keep the bug reports coming as you find them, but the faster you find them the longer it will take to process them (logically!) and to respond to everything else. (And yes, I'll try harder to update all 3 places when I file a bug (bugzilla + trello + original reported location). Thanks for your patience.)
I meant that if a bug is reported here, and then copied over to Bugzilla by a member of the team without leaving a comment here about what the Bugzilla reference number is, then it is hard to use the listing to correlate the report here with the status of the report on Bugzilla.
