Inconsistent, and oft very much a matter of opinion.
If there's a race condition which causes a loading indicator not to show up it's a bug, but is it a bug if nobody put in a loading indicator because nobody cared, or considered that the operation could take sufficiently long some signal would be useful?
- gfody 4y agothankfully "bug" is not a precise jargon, it can be anything and everything that bugs you. anyone arguing over the definition of "bug" is usually trying to weasel out of having to fix one.
- masklinn 4y ago> anyone arguing over the definition of "bug" is usually trying to weasel out of having to fix one. Meh. It's just as often that they're trying to get something changed against maintenance or stability policy.
- JohnFen 4y agoI think a "bug" is anything that isn't operating as the designers wanted it to. If there's an aspect that just sucks, but is operating as intended, that's not a bug. That's a "misfeature" (or BAD -- Broken As Designed). But a bug doesn't have to be a malfunction. It can be a terrible UI flow or other annoyance. But if it's not what the designers had in mind, it's a bug.
