As a humble follower of the ReactOS project since 2007, I have seen many arguments on the
ROSDEV mailing list and IRC, as well as the official forums. Please, remember that these
information channels are all public, and flaming, trolling, or whatever you call it is
completely exposed to the public.
If I was to look at jojning the ROS project as a developer, and i saw these kinds of
arguments on the mailing list, I would be horrified, and probably just give up and move on
to another project. Please, try and keep it professional.
As to the bugreport, as a simple non-developer, i can't see anything particularly
wrong with it... It clearly shows what is wrong, supplies sourcecode, which could be used
to diagnose the problem, and it shows clear methods of reproduction. It also describes a
clear bug in the handling of windows, which could manifest itself in the behaviour of
other apps. Sure, it's not the best bug report, but it's definately better than
nothing.
Yours Sincerely
Joshua Rice

Its not the point of testing every random app there

show precisely any bug/deficiency in ROS. What are those for? What is the point of passing
report same as in my afforementioned example (AKA app doesnt work, nothing in debug log).
You ask what is wrong with such reports?
1. No precise error;
2. No info regarding the app in gathered debug log;
3. App is not of priority list (which includes major apps, as such would not be affected
by points 1 and 2);
To have such report fixed, one would first research the bug, something what you ommited,
feeling content with simply stating that app doesnt work...
I would understand if someone from outside of our project had reported such bugs, but for
the fuck sake, you admitt you are within the project for so long. You should know well
already, how bugs should be reported! Its not the first time i point out the quality of
bugs reported by you, and my previous attempts to reason with you have failed. Please
treat this as official warning from me then.
As for my arguments being a personal attack? Please... You seem to think too well of
yourself if you think this is personal.
I am simply tired of cleaning up bugzilla, to endure such garbage reports as you pasted.
