When reporting bugs keep in mind that the people working on it do this unpaid,
|
|
|
|
|
in their free time and as a hobby. So be polite and helpful. Bug reports that
|
|
|
|
|
demand, contain insults to this or other projects, or have a general unfriendly
|
|
|
|
|
tone will be closed without discussion. Everybody has it own way of working;
|
|
|
|
|
What might be the norm for you, might not be for others. Therefore be verbose in
|
|
|
|
|
your description.

Before creating an issue:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Update to the latest version. Check if problem still exists.
|
|
|
|
|
* Check existing bug reports, see if it is already reported.
|
|
|
|
|
* Read the documentation. Make sure the behaviour you are seeing is a bug.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When reporting bugs include the following information:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Rofi version. rofi -v
|

|
|
|
* Rofi configuration. rofi -help (in a [gist](https://gist.github.com/))
|

|
|
|
* Steps to reproduce.
|
|
|
|
|
* What behaviour you see.
|
|
|
|
|
* What behaviour you expect to see.
|
|
|
|
|
* A proper title for others to search for.
|
|
|
|
|
* Be exact.

When adding comments to an issue make sure:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* It is relevant to the issue.
|
|
|
|
|
* It contributes to solving the issue.
|
|
|
|
|
* Use :+1: :-1: emojis instead of replying 'me too' or 'I also have this.'

Issue high-jacking, e.g. adding a request/issue to an existing issue, is very
|
|
|
|
|
disruptive.
|
|
|
|
|
Please create a new issue, if it is similar it will be marked duplicate.
