Package: reportbug
Version: 3.12
Severity: normal
I assume that when lacking both $EDITOR and $VISUAL, reportbug will
use the system set /usr/bin/editor. However this setting is not
respected. If I interpret the editor that reportbug launched
correctly, it selected the highest priority editor.
But this is wrong. The system wide setting that admin has set should
be used.
