They can always display that window when they want to. They know it existed, so they will know where and how to look. OTOH, having the bug-report buffer not show at all is much worse: a user who is not very fluent in reporting bugs, or maybe even does that for the first time, will never know what to look for. > So to be sure: Does the present report warrant the proposed solution? If you can propose a better one that has fewer potential problems, I'm all ears. If not, let's solve this bug that way. We must solve it. Thanks.
