I dont see any patch here, nor the upstream tag has sense in this
contect. please dont use tags without knowing what they are.

in which panel is this happening? report the exact steps to replicate
this issue (and what the exact issue is, as it not clear at all)

No i dont, you need to be specific and on topic, and not using a
mocking language (what's that, pascal? who's relevant here?)

surprise, because you might have hit the  close botton by mistake and
we dont want screaming users to complain they lost their reports
because they hit close

So report them, one by one, with precise and exact information on how
to replicate them and how you would address these glitches.

if you use the word 'epic-fail' in the subject, you NEED to provide a
quality report, which this is absolutely not. I didnt close it just
because I want to hear what you have to say, but it has a very low
value (if any at all).
