They did mention that they asked for help in IRC. Not the same thing as a bug report of course, but worth mentioning.


Yeah that's fair, but a lot of people are quite... impatient on IRC, ignoring that those able to answer might be busy or in a different timezone altogether. Debugging an issue requires at the very least the effort to reproduce it, and if the person doesn't already bring a trivial reproduction this can at times be a painful and time-consuming project to extract, and that time is not always available right at that instant.

Coming in with a prepared and easy reproduction and a filed issue makes quite a difference in the response you'll get.

(For the record, I don't experience anything matching what they describe on master right now, but the post was more about PaperWM vs. tiling UX so that doesn't matter that much.)
