Ummm? What's wrong is asking someone, who is facing a problem with a software, to file a bug? I thought bugs were mostly filed by people who are facing problem themselves.
I would recommend following bug filing procedure. That should avoid any unnecessary flames. :)
1. You find an issue with a software 2. You post on LUG(s) describing your issue with software version, distribution version etc and ask on the list if anybody faces the same issue with same software 3. Someone using the same software confirm the issue. 4. Same version of software has issues on multiple distributions. 5. Original/confirmer files a bug report to upstream 6. Original reported issue is specific to a distribution and original poster files bug report downstream (with distributor)
If other listers can not either confirm or deny the issue, please refrain from posting. :)
