Precisely. I did not appreciate that your reply to me, "you posted an 
irrelevant comment…", maligned me as the author of what you did not 
like. I'm trying to help you here. Your mistaken hostility in reply is 
reducing the amount of help you get.

No. This is a project with volunteer contributions. You don't have to 
find ANY problems. Contribute to the extent you wish.

You did find one problem, and started a bug ticket about it. Good. But, 
you have not yet finished that one job. You are being offered advice and 
help to turn that ticket into a complete report, which describes the 
problem in a way that helps others investigate. Finishing that one job 
is not the same as having to find EVERY problem.

I suspect you would benefit if someone were to diagnose and fix this 
issue you found.  You don't yourself have the expertise to do that. 
Fine. However, I think you are capable of completing that ticket. If you 
do complete it, and cooperate with others who show up to help, you might 
make a fix more likely. Instead, to those who are interested in the 
issue, you are mostly reacting with hostility.  That is making a fix 
less likely.

There is a saying, you get out what you put in.
