Reporting problems
Half of the work in fixing a bug can be done by properly reporting it.
Just creating a bug report and saying "This does not work" is clearly
not good enough. When fixing bugs, most of my time is usually wasted on
finding details for these bug reports.
Please follow these guidelines when reporting problems:
-
Please use Console's SF bug reporting page.
Reporting bugs elsewhere (like the forum) is not a good idea, since
they may get lost and forgotten.
-
Write Console and Windows version you're using.
-
Attach your configuration file.
-
Attach screenshots if they illustrate your problem.
-
If you can, describe in detail the symptoms and steps to reproduce
them. If I can't reproduce the bug, it's usually very difficult to
fix it.
-
If Console output seems strange/garbled/broken, unhide the hidden
console window (View->Console window). If its output looks the same,
it's probably not a Console issue. Some console applications can
behave strangely.
-
Try to eliminate other utilities you run that could interfere with
Console (hotkey managers, etc).
