Bug Report Guidelines

Changed:

Include your Operating System, java version and jEdit version. If you built from cvs, give a rough indication of when you last checked out the code. For convenience, you can use the "Make Bug Report" macro that comes with jEdit to obtain this information.

  • Use jEdit 4.4pre1 and see if the problem still occurs.
  • Isolate a procedure that consistently reproduces the issue.
  • Include the contents generated by the "Make Bug Report" macro included with jEdit.

It is generally a bad idea to report a bug through the #jEdit IRC channel. The reason is that there is no permanent storage of that information.
