[00:51] <mspencer> How do I find out if a bug is really a bug and not a feature? It is in Unity.
[00:56] <persia> mspencer: Do you mean to ask whether a given behaviour was intended or not, or do you mean to ask whether a given behaviour should be preserved in the future or not?
[00:56] <persia> In either case, discussions with upstream are the best route to an answer.
[00:57] <mspencer> I mean was it intended to work the way it does.
[00:57] <persia> But it likely saves confusion to be very clear about the question, and avoid valued semantics "bug", "feature" in the hopes of not getting a canned response.
[00:58] <mspencer> Sorry, I'm wondering for LP #1019457 if the dash is supposed to close or not, and how I would find out.
[00:58] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1019457 in unity (Ubuntu) "The Dash closes when trying to switch to the Command lens (Alt+F2)" [Low,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1019457
[01:00] <mspencer> Would I contact the Desktop Team for this?
[01:01] <persia> You want the upstream authors: the Desktop Team is probably a good place to start, and some upstream folk hang out in the desktop channel
[01:02] <mspencer> I asked an hour ago on #ubuntu-desktop but haven't gotten any response, so I wanted to check to see if that is where I should ask.
[01:04] <mspencer> Should I try the mailing list for the team?
[01:04] <persia> I'd try asking during EU business hours: that seems to be when that team is most active.
[01:07] <mspencer> Okay, thanks.
[19:44] <jmburgess> Hello. I'm trying to start 5-a-day and working on bug #1076387 would that be libmetacity-private0 or ubuntu-release-upgrader-core?
[19:44] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1076387 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) "Oneiric to Precise upgrade fails with 'files list file for package libmetacity-private0 is missing final newline' message" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1076387
[19:45] <jmburgess> it seems like it's a libmetacity bug but I can't find anybody else who has the bug which is suspect
