Bug ID: 404465 Summary: Bug report status does not remain exclusively under the control of the report author! Problematic behaviour of code author is not checked. Product: bugs.kde.org Version: unspecified Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based) OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: product/component changes Assignee: sysad...@kde.org Reporter: arcli...@gmail.com CC: christo...@krop.fr Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Please clarify why as I have reported an observed bug with real negative impact upon my system function and my personal business schedule that can be closed by the author of the errant code without any agreement or negotiation? Where I receive criticism from a 3rd party for reopening the bug report because it has been prematurely closed! Where it becomes increasingly clear the author is both unable to recognize the nature of the problem and appears unwilling to learn from myself the observer? This situation is exacerbated by the (wrongful?) intervention that has failed to observe the sequence of "premature" closure x2 before any due negotiation has been engaged with by the code author with myself the report author? STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install K3b CD/DVD/Blu-Ray copier, writer suite on fresh install of Linux Mint Cinnamon 64bit (19v1 Tessa) 2. Answer system default behaviour prompt when inserting a blank DVD with "Run K3b" 3. Start K3b; open a fresh project to copy a DVD to x3 blank DVDs and observe the results! Open a bug report and observe as the code author repeatedly closes the bug report without committing to negotiate for change because the concept of established principle and private property is unknown to the code author! OBSERVED RESULT at every fresh DVD insertion for the next copy operation a fresh copy of K3b is started that proceeds to obscure the prior copy operation of K3b. Reporting this as a bug because K3b fails to check for a prior instance of its code and fails to offer the system owner an opportunity to confirm the validity of the new instance with a Y/N? This causes disruption for new users and potential delays in processing for others whose system is already committed to other operations as a direct consequence of resource consumption by K3b. The author does neither comprehend how their code should respect the system it is being run in nor how the status of a bug report should only be altered by the originator of the bug report. THE BUG REPORTING SYSTEM DOES NOT PROTECT THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT OF THE BUG REPORT AUTHOR TO CHANGE THE STATE OF THE BUG REPORT. EXPECTED RESULT K3b fails to respect it is running in an environment that is not its property and fails to offer the "system owner" an opportunity to validate each n+1 instance of its code in principle. Reporting this bug reveals an author who cannot comprehend their failure to appreciate their code is no longer running on their own system. A bug report is expected to communicate until negotiation and change for improved outcome results. The status of the bug report should remain exclusively under the control of the report author. This is not the case! As the code author keeps changing the status without any comprehension or negotiation for change!
