Hi @harry-heightz, thanks for making this contribution.

I was able to replicate the above behavior following the steps you provided. Although it was difficult at first, a look at the recording clarified things.

The actual and expected behaviors were well explained, it's a good find. I like that you included in your report a crash log. This would help the PO locate the faulty line of code easily.

I see the issue has been acknowledged and also been assigned to a PO for a fix. Good job!

I look forward to more of your contributions.

Thanks @fego. But, I'm not quite satisfied with your answer on one of the review questions on the questionnaire. 
The steps to reproduce the bug was clearly stated. I don't know what you had issues with. But, if I was unable to get the information across properly, I feel that's why the screen recording is included. Or is the screen just there for advertisement? Because from your review, what I deduce is that, if I'm able to communicate my steps to reproduce the bug in a very detailed manner, I shouldn't include a video. But, I know if a video or screenshot is not included, you'll still call me out for that.
Please I'd love to know what you found difficult in my explanation of steps to reproduce.

Hi, just seeing your response.

Steps are meant to help reproduce a bug. It is almost useless if a bug cannot be reproduced. While a moderator will most definitely go through the video provided, most POs don't have the time to look through a recording.

The recording should complement the written steps. It shouldn't be the only way a project maintainer is able to replicate an issue.

The bug in itself was confusing, confusing in the sense that special measures had to be taken to ensure reproduction. The steps weren't clear enough.

I know the answer in the questionnaire was harsh but that was the only option close enough to the scenario. Maybe in the future we will revisit the questionnaire and probably include more cases.

POs on Github ask for screenshots and videos when applicable, especially Esteemapp.  Aside from that, I still dunno how you say the steps to reproduce the bug lacked in clarity. What would you have said differently?

@fego · Mar 18 '19

Maybe they do, but eSteemApp is just a single project. Hence we cannot tailor a questionnaire to suit just the needs of a select set of project maintainers.

Probably use "It was not as clear as it should be" cause I think "Lacked in clarity" connotes a stronger meaning, hence your reaction.
