    After a bit of time using the bug tracker I have found that the reports that tend to get confirmed show certain information.

    Make sure u search for your bug before making a report :)

    1.Quick summary
    -Just a quick description of the issue
    2.Symptoms
    -A list of problems that occur when the bug happens
    3.Replication
    -A list of steps on how to replicate this bug so it can be tested and confirmed
    4.User fixes
    -If you have found a little workaround to the problem


    I generally try to follow this format. It makes reporting bugs easier. Less work work for SXX and the deva

    Just little announce. I'll have lot of free time on this weekend and planned to do lot of cleaning/reporting on bugtracker. If anybody there is bugs (!) that still not fixed in current version and they don't get my attention please PM me links and I'll check them.

    All bugs that can be reproduced on will be submitted to internal bugtracker.

    Also as always there is tons of "Unconfirmed" tasks that need votes and comments with useful info. ;)

    Is it possible to find all the tasks that I've commented or voted on?
