FWIW, for decades now I have told younger engineers that they can close out a bug report
with the status "works as designed" only if the design is correct. And the
design is correct only if they are willing to stand in front of a room full of customers
to explain why it is.
By that simple test, what we have here is a bug. On Nov 13, 2024, at 2:58 PM, Johnny Billquist
