How to confirm a bug?

Post by Lope »

This bug has been open since 2008 but it still does not have a status of "CONFIRMED"
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16367

Yet many people have confirmed this bug exists.

==================================

Is there anything we can do to confirm it?

Bugs are confirmed when someone with bugzilla triage privileges confirm them, generally because they are able to reproduce the problem themselves. However, confirming a bug has nothing to do with whether or not it will ever be fixed; AFAICT, developers pay little to no attention to that field.

As for the best way to participate as a user, you've already done that by adding a comment to the bug report with updated information.
