Um, so you're saying the actual USERS of a product don't know what they want?

If you've been a dev, you know that users want all sorts of things. They are generally awful. Devs may have a long-term plan that they are executing to, or a design template they conform to, or any number of things the user doesn't know about. When users start listing chapter-and-verse how the product should work, its not helpful. A real report would have said something like "No way to enter a url on fullscreen tab". That might have survived 'bug triage'.

  Is surviving bug triage the responsibility of the bug finder or the development team? I expect developers (owners and experts of the software) to weed through the muck and understand the heart of the issue that they need to resolve...it's critical that developers not accept everything at written value.

  > "No way to enter a url on fullscreen tab" My Goodness, I learnt a new trick from you!! Also the project is a Google project and isn't it the Dev responsibility to read, consider the features and bugs, yes users will always want more, but honestly they should sit back and think about this feature, I say that they all use Mac OS and in Mac OS you can enter URL on full screen tab :D Anyways I shifted to firefox, also the dev who said "this is as per design", it is a huge irony that they work in the same org who made such a beautiful material design, I only wonder how Android would have looked had they taken such a careless approach regarding its "design" apparently everything third party says is as per design and won't change, even if it is significant improvement and this feature makes sense and 500+ people have raised the same request, of course you don't listen to everyone but 500 people took time to upvote it so it is worth a look from the dev side also if all FOSS projects are going to be run like this then God help us.
