Re: [xwiki-devs] What is a bug?

Hi devs, The story: * Some reporter (Anca in this case) reported the issue https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13947 as a bug * Caty modified it as an improvement * I didn’t quite agree and also consider it to be a bug So I think it would be healthy that we agree about the difference of bug vs improvement. This is not meant as a flamewar but more as a discussion to see if we could reach an agreement. If not, then so be it, we won’t have a common agreement. Here’s my POV and what I consider a bug is: "A bug is something that was NOT wanted by the developer. It's not related to its severity and there can be minor bugs and important bugs” I realize that another definition could be “A bug is any behaviour that a user consider not normal” but I find this more hazy and subject to interpretation so I prefer my first definition. For Caty a bug is “[…]broken/not working behaviour.” but that definition is not precise enough IMO since for me the issue in XWIKI-13947 is a broken behavior (I consider that the right behavior is to have the same top and bottom margin for boxes) and thus would match Caty’s rule. I also consider that there can be all types of bugs: visual bugs, performance bugs, feature bugs, etc and thus I don’t consider that visual issues are always improvements and never bugs. So an improvement would be about doing something differently than in the way it was voluntarily implemented. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
