[1] Can you please tell me why the assignee of the issue https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=20525 was not reset? Cause when looking at the History there is nothing after 2004-06-17 15:00:01 UTC (besides a comment on 2007-05-03 12:24:50 UTC ). Can you please tell me how to find bugs of a certain assignee? I want to get all bugs listed which are from the assignee ooo . When (in the Advanced Search) I select "Assignee" in "Custom Search" and choose "is equal to" and then set the value to ooo it does not work. Using "is equal to any of the strings" instead of "is equal to" does not work as well -> ????? Trying to use regular expression and typing ^ooo$ does also not work. (^ooo works but then I get also things like ooo*) >We all know who is active and who isn't. Did not know that. >Notifications are all-or-nothing.

What would happen if you leave the notification enabled and then reset all the assignee fields? thx [1]http://www.convertunits.com/dates/daysfromnow/-2000 On 26.09.2013 at 3:39 PM, "Rob Weir" <robw...@apache.org> wrote: > >On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 8:41 AM, Regina Henschel ><rb.hensc...@t-online.de> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> bugreporte...@hushmail.com schrieb: >> >>> Stop!
