| Jun 24, 2019 at 16:43 | comment | added | Kulfy | @SergiyKolodyazhnyy But I have seen questions whose answer is something like, "This is a bug #blabla reported on launchpad and as a workaround you can do this and that" getting close against the same reason. | |

| Jun 24, 2019 at 0:46 | comment | added | Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy | @Kulfy People misunderstand "bug reports are off-topic" thing. When someone comes and asks a question that basically says "Hi, I found a bug, please fix this" - this is off-topic because we're community and not owners/developers of the software. When the question is "Hi, this thingy doesn't work. How do I fix it?" it's not a bug report. When an answer to a question is "Yep, that's a bug and there's a report" - that's acceptable, because it explains the question and shows either that there is a fix, planned fix, or that developers are aware. | |
| Jun 23, 2019 at 9:42 | comment | added | Kulfy | A link to something at their end showing that they're fixing it (eg public bug tracker): Wouldn't it make the question off-topic since AFAIK bug reports are off-topic here? (PS: I have been always confused about this close reason). By the way, I just saw you left a comment on the post. Thank you for that :-) | |
