How to create a usable ticket for the developers

Pretty please, before reporting an issue: search for it and check if somebody did report it already you could then add your findings to the existing ticket if necessary.

If you didn't find the issue in our tracker yet please report it, following the guidelines described below!

Important things to remember:

  1.  --> Please include your email address! This way you'll receive updates about the ticket status. (The system will only show the part before the @ - so it won't get crawled by spammers)
  1. --> Summary:
    A sentence which summarizes the problem. Please be descriptive and use lots of keywords.
    Bad example: browser crashed
    Good example: Midori crashes if I close the window while loading a page
  1. --> Description:
    Expand on the Summary. Please be as specific as possible about what is wrong.
    Bad example: WiFi doesn't work. You suck!
    Good example: When I try to connect To my WiFi access point I do seem to get an IP address but if I launch Midori it won't open any web pages just says "Not found - http://..."
