Hi,
my OpenOffice Base crashed and gave the following message - is this
something that should be reported somewhere else?
A bug is really useful if you can describe how it happened, and can
repeat it. If so and it uses specific db files / connections, you need
to list exactly what you did that caused the crash. Some bugs are
packaging/interaction bugs, other bugs are in the upstream original
source code (openoffice). Search their issuezilla to see if the bug is
already known. Also search bugzilla.redhat.com first before creating a
bug to ensure you aren't doubling up on a bug. Crashing bugs are
generally considered of higher priority than other bugs!
To create a bug you do need to make a bugzilla account; this reduces
spam, but also keeps you in the loop on any developments with the bug. A
heap of bugs go unfixed because the issue is not repeatable for other
testers / developers, and the reporter is not able to provide more info
on how the bug occurs.
Please reply if you need more help to find/create a bug.
