What's a bug and what's an issue?

Just a nice new feature @michaeljoos I like it :slight_smile:

You just can’t help yourself, can you?

I am just wondering what’s openhabs definition of a bug is :slight_smile: long learning journey :slight_smile: but I am happy to write Wikipedia new :slight_smile:

2 days ago a bug or feature was resolved what I wrote here and it was called as a feature request and so I don’t care about it 2 days ago someone fixed it with the remark as a bug
 :slight_smile:

So my learning is call it as a feature make some noise and it get fixed quickly


I guess you’ll never understand it 


  1. Wrt to your rules file reloading issue (Reloading of rules files doesn't work properly in openHAB 4.3.1 till openHAB 5.2 snapshot · Issue #4529 · openhab/openhab-core · GitHub): @Nadahar and others looked into it and I guess invested a good amount of time into the investigation. Unfortunately no one was able to find a cause, and you not being able to provide the requested information required for debugging might be part of the reason for not finding a cause.
  2. Wrt to charting (Chart hover tooltip shows incorrect future dates / mismatched data point · Issue #3655 · openhab/openhab-webui · GitHub): Reporting something you consider a bug, then experiencing disagreement about whether is a bug or not, and in response to that starting a campaign of calling bugs feature, repeatedly pinging maintainers, demanding to look into your report will do anything but cause people to look into your report.

I am fed up with your behaviour, so @moderators please step in. When you check @milo ‘s activity, you’ll find enough postings of his campaign.

See here for example

All others can be found by searching easily:)

If yo look on this

There is a proof inside that the chart is behaving differently on with a snap out of the code and so on 
but no answer on it why different behavior is there depending on how you configure an item


An again no I can’t open any pull request because I have never learned it and I only program via chat gpt and also have other projects running I take care on it

That’s a good example of how issue reporting should work: Someone reports a bug or requests a feature, all required information is provided, someone answers it, there is a fact-based discussion and in conclusion a fix is developed.

I can see no one declaring the report a feature request, there were only valid concerns expressed about possibly breaking existing behaviour when fixing this.

If you would handle your other issues the same way that would be appreciated.

Look up the forum there was a long discussion about it between me and rich and different other person
I opened one and deleted because it was declined now it’s inside I love it :slight_smile: fight was 1 or 2 years :slight_smile:

And also no I don’t search for you :slight_smile: chat gpt can help :slight_smile:

And again @florian-h05 your comment makes no sense for the chart tooltip you do not even read my comments :slight_smile:

So why I should do more effort in it :slight_smile:

It seems like ChatGPT has some way to go before it can help you - with your attitude. I’m honestly questioning what you think you can possibly achieve by saying things the way you do. Could it be that, not only are you unable to (or uninterested in) figure out how to code what you want, but you aren’t even able to express is in a way that is comprehensible to others?

If the same feature/bugfix/whatever that you have been “fighting for” for a long time, has been implemented in a short time when somebody else proposed it, doesn’t it make you at least a bit curious about why your attempt failed? Could it be something with how you go about it?

I can simple answer

@milo : please stop that. That’s annoying. You can buy a commercial system and there you can demand professional support.
Here we should be as respectful as possible to our fellow developers and supporters. Doesn’t matter if it’s a bug or a feature. Nobody is paid here. I would appreciate if you would reduce the amount of posts to a minimum.

If I can proof there is throughout the graphs a different behavior why no one is taken care of it? Tell me where and what I should report


I’m not questioning that there might be a problem or even a bug. I don’t like the way you try to make pressure. Many users have problems to solve just like you and manage to be friendly and polite without being pushy

The problem is there was a declined on GitHub and the forum so it will never changed or fixed or whatever
 I am not making the pressure that the issue get fixed I am making the pressure that the problem is accepted
 that’s a big difference and also one other user agreed with me but still it gets declined

I am circling and someone need to cut the circle to get a line
that’s why I am making pressure


It’s like Don Quijote

It doesn’t really matter what you “make pressure” for - it has the opposite effect. If you spent that energy trying to contribute to the problem being solved instead, with information, insight, observation, contribution, testing, whatever you can offer, the chances for a return for your investment is much better.

Also, sometimes people disagree. I disagree with people “all the time”. That happens, people have different concerns and priorities. But even when you disagree, you’re better off trying to explain your point of view, make it seem reasonable, than trying to “bully” those that oppose you. The only thing you achieve by doing that, is turning those that haven’t yet taken a position against you too.

Please read the threads and GitHub issue everything is explained and code snippets, screenshot included


And that is the misunderstanding: Nobody is obliged to see a problem like you see it.
Even if you are right.
This is all volunteer work.
If none of the developers sees it like you (doesn’t matter why) that’s currently the end. If you cannot provide better information you have to wait (even if you think your information was sufficient). Insisting and repeating is just negative for the community.
