In general, I (as a developer) rather get a number of "small" bug reports, with a top-level "BIDI problems in evolution" blocker bug that depends on all the small ones. Having short bug report with easy to follow test-cases makes it easier for the maintainer to track individual issues. - Gilboa ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
