- SYNOPSIS:
- [Brief description of the problem and where it is located]
-
- DESCRIPTION:
- [Detailed description of problem. Don't just say "<blah>
- doesn't work, here's a fix," explain what your program does
- to get to the <blah> state. If this is a request for an
- enhancement, justify it.]
-
- REPEAT BY:
- [What you did to get the error; include test program or session
- transcript if at all possible. If you include a program, make
- sure it depends only on libraries in the MIT X distribution, not
- on any vendor or third-party libraries. Be specific; if we can't
- reproduce it, we can't fix it. Don't just say "run this program
- and it will be obvious," tell us exactly what we should see when
- the program is run. Bug reports without a clear, deterministic
- way of reproducing them will be fixed only after all bug reports
- that do.]
-
- SAMPLE FIX:
- [Preferred, but not necessary. Please send context diffs (diff -c).
- Be sure to include our "XConsortium" ident line in any diffs. The
- best way to do this is to add your own versioning line immediately
- after ours.]
-
- [PLEASE make your Subject: line as descriptive as possible.
- Subjects like "xterm bug" or "bug report" are not helpful!]
- [Remove all the explanatory text in brackets before mailing.]
