Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

Dear all,
I have a quick question!

When I report a new issue , there is a drop down called 'reproducibility' which has different values ( from always to N/A). My question is that what does this really mean, aren't all the issues reproducible if they occur once?

Thank you kindly,

in advance!

Are we talking about theory or practice?

Let's talk about practice:
A customer calls the hotline and says: Sometimes my application crashes when clicking button xxxx, sometimes not
You start your installation to verify the problem and click button xxxx, no problem!
Reproducible? Not at the moment.

After a lot of trying and looking at sourcecode you find the bug: The problem occurs only when current hour is > 9 because the field to hold the time is declared to short.
Reproducible? Now always.
