@Vincent
What is a 'restriction browser'? Where do I find it in Lazarus

Note:
It's very annoying that you cannot post a note to a 'resolved' item in Mantis!!! Is there any way to lift this restriction?

Regards,

Wouldn't they get the notification emails? eg: I get notification emails on all Mantis bug reports. I saw the message that Vincent posted and didn't know what he was talking about. I couldn't post a note because the issue was resolved. If it was open, it would not have any problem.

I think if you can prevent posting notes on 'closed' bug reports only, that's fine, but 'resolved' should still be possible. Also for the reason that the bug fix could possibly not be 100% yet on all systems.

As far as I understand the status works something like the following....

New - allow posting notes
Acknowledged - allow
Assigned - allow
Resolved - allow
Reopen - allow
Closed - don't allow posts

It is not your issue, so you cannot tell if it should be reopened or closed. If it is has been reopened by the reporter, then you can add your findings.

I think if you can prevent posting notes on 'closed' bug reports only, that's fine, but 'resolved' should still be possible. Also for the reason that the bug fix could possibly not be 100% yet on all systems.

Then open a new bug report.

Anyway in this case it was good that you were not allowed to post on it. Questions should be asked on the mailing list and forums. The bug tracker is for tracking bugs.

I agree with 'closed', but not with 'reopened'. I do test selected bug reports from other users, and if it's marked resolved before I could report my finding, I have to open a whole new bug report, which is actually a duplicate of an existing one (not closed yet).

Point taken. :)
