Description Owen Genat (retired) 2013-11-22 04:45:37 UTC
Problem description: 
In setting the version of bug 52526 from "3.5.5.3 release" to "Inherited From OOo" I received this message:

> You are changing the version of the bug to a later version. 
> As the version field of the bug should show the earliest version 
> manifesting the bug, please reconsider, if you really want to do this. 
> Please do not change a version, because it also manifests in a later 
> version. for details, please see the guidelines

The change was not to a later version but rather an earlier version.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Find existing bug with LO release version (3.5.x?).
2. Change version back to "Inherited From OOo".
3. Warning text is displayed.

Current behavior: Displays warning message when setting Version field back to earliest possible setting.

Expected behavior: Only displays warning message when setting Version field forward to later version.

May be related to bug 69369, and thus not fixable, but I thought I should at least document the behaviour in a bug report.
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.1.3.2 release
Last worked in: 4.1.2.3 release

Yep, I think that's the case.

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

   *Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.1 or later)
   https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

   *If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior
 
   *If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

   *Update the version field
   *Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
   *Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 

1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug 
3. Leave a comment with your results. 
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo"; 
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa

Thank you for your help!

Setting version to "Inherited from OOo" as test.
Comment 4 Owen Genat (retired) 2015-04-19 07:03:54 UTC
Works as expected without error message. I am therefore resolving as WFM (and setting version back as reported). Tested via Android phone using Dolphin browser.
