[TYPO3-bugs] Discussion: Close vs. resolve in Mantis Bugtracker

[Michael Stucki]

Franz,

did you read my mail at all?

That was exactly what I wrote. How about just saying "yes"? :-)

I know, that's why I wrote the same like you already.

I think they can reopen a resolved issue, but not a closed one.
However, I think that is ok this way. If a bug occurs again although it
was fixed before, this should be reported with a new issue and adding a
relation to the old bug number.

Thanks, will add it.
