Comment 1 Philippe Rigault 2005-03-12 03:16:04 UTC
Cannot reproduce on 3.3.2 compiled from sources, Fedora Core 3.
A Mandrake problem maybe ?

Philippe,

It might be. I reported it because I could crash Quanta *every* time doing 
this.

Would reporting it here be enough for the Mandrake team to see it, or should I 
talk to them directly?

In general, when using a package from your distro (as opposed to building from sources), it is a good idea to report bugs to your distro first:
 - if the bug is specific to your distro, it avoids clogging KDE with bugs that are not their problem. Many crash bugs can be distro-specific, given the dependencies on glibc/gcc/kernel and so on.
  - if the but is really from KDE, then your distro maintainer will file a bug in KDE (or tell you to do so yourself), so it eventually gets to the right place (here).

In this case, now that you suspect a distro-specific behaviour, you should absolutely file a bug in your distro.
Remember, a bug not filed does not exist, so don't count on Mandrake eyes to magically see it and act on it. Report the bug, then it exists.

Cheers.
