Hi Graeme,

Thanks for the feedback. For context: the test refers to the issue where
an update of ImageJ2 broke quitting Fiji, reported by David Knecht.

I Cc:ed him so he won't miss it.

Help>Report a Bug provides information that is easy to forget to provide,
so it is a very good way to report bugs.

But an email is also fine. The important part is to understand that it is
much easier to report a bug than to fix it. So whatever you can do to make
it easier on the poor guy stuck with the task may be a good idea to do
(provide context, if possible provide a macro to reproduce the issue
easily, when responding to mails, quote them properly and only the parts
you are responding to, so that somebody like myself who has to juggle a
couple of email conversations in parallel does not have to spend more time
to figure out the context than it takes to craft the reply, things like
that).

Ciao,
Johannes
