When evaluating an incoming bug, please follow these steps:
- Try to reproduce the issue, especially if it was reported against an earlier version than the latest Qt version (it might already be fixed)
- If you manage to reproduce the bug, try to come up with an easy way of reproducing it. Perhaps you can use one of the manual tests (we have a ton of manual tests in qtbase and many compile against 4.8 as well)
- If it is a crash, try to add a stacktrace
- If the user provided sample code snippets, try to create a small example that ideally runs Qt 4.8/5, and prints the QT_VERSION_STR somewhere to avoid pilot errors (Creator 2.7 has a nice "Create project from Code snippet" wizard - see Other Projects/Code Snippet)
- If you know how to fix it, feel free to provide a patch :)
- If not: Add a priority and assign it to the right person, if you know who that is. (If not, you can also leave it unassigned.)
