“And the Oscar goes to bug 6635!”
A new bug came in this week that described a problem where breakpoints were not working in Carbide’s debugger. These problems can sometimes be difficult to describe and reproduce so I started by carefully reading the detailed description. Then I noticed that the bug had a movie attached: This was great! I got some snacks then sat back and watched the whole breakpoint problem happen. I picked up a couple helpful extra details from the video and spent the next couple days fixing the problem. So feel free to attach repro movies to your bug reports, especially if you are trying to describe a sequence of events that lead to the problem. But please keep your entries in the short film category, if everyone starts posting lengthy epics we’ll quickly run out of server space.
