Such a thing as a too-minor "bug"?
« on: April 19, 2006, 07:04:01 pm »
I know I\'m relatively new here but I do enjoy the testing aspects, and I wanted to know if there are some things that are too minor to mention. Examples would include spelling errors, or what I\'m thinking of specifically is an item that has a scrollbar next to its description that shouldn\'t be there and doesn\'t work because the entire description fits in the window, or just really teensy things.

Too nitpicky?

Not right now while more important things are worked on?

Or okay to mention and if so where would I put my observations? I just want to know what level of testing you\'re looking for right now.

Heya Jeraphon, thanks for helping us out by spotting those weird inconsistencies :) We\'re looking for as much of a \"perfection\" as we can reach, so spelling errors and strange GUI issues should definitely be reported in the BugTracker.

Be sure to check to avoid making duplicate entries, as steuben mentioned.

Alright, thanks. I\'m going through the bugtracker right now - it\'ll be pretty hard to tell if it\'s reported or not seeing as there are well over 1500 entries - that\'s a lot of one-line descs to go over, let alone the few I look in specifically to check. But I\'ll do my best.

You can actually go to the advanced query page and enter a keyword in the \"Summary\" field to search with :) It\'s a lot easier than just scanning the list itself line by line.

Much obliged. Thanks for fielding my newbish questions, it\'s making life much easier.

Edit: when I try to submit a bug, for the version dropdown it only goes up to 0.3.013. May need to fix that too ;)
