A bug in the bug list

We are currently fixing a lot of bugs in our system. They have been there for a while, but it was time to do some cleaning. During intermediate testing I found a bug, which “should have been solved”. So I asked my colleague Frank to help me out here. It turned out we had a bug in our bug list. It has been there for some while, hiding, staying unnoticed, until now.

Hi Ronald,

I see. It is neither incident#26 nor one the print bugs (incident#36, incident#201, incident#205). It seems that this incident is described in incident#211 and incorrectly was set to duplicate (to incident#200) by Eric last year and therefore is not in the current scope. I will talk to Jack, to clarify whether he can fix it, yet. We will do so, if the solution does not conflict with others.

Best regards, Frank

Hi Ronald, 

It seems that we can fix both (the bug in the bug list and the bug itself), without delay in the planning.

Best regards,  Frank

Well, I have a next action on my (long) to-do list: checking all incidents with status “closed (due to duplicate)”.
