TIP: Reporting bugs for RAD Studio / Delphi

[Lars Fosdal 1792]

When you find a problem with RAD Studio, make sure to create a report in https://qp.embarcadero.com/ which has replaced the former https://quality.embarcadero.com  

See https://blogs.embarcadero.com/the-new-quality-portal-is-live-here-are-the-details/ for clues on how to use the new reporting platform.

And - please describe the problem properly! 

 

• What you are trying to do
• The actual result you got
• The result you expected
• Most important: How to reproduce the problem
  - either as a detailed step by step description
  - or as a small, self-contained, compilable example project
  - or both of the above

 

Better reports = better chance of getting stuff fixed.

This is actually true for all software products, so I pinned this.

Thanks, Leif! Brainfart, I guess.

Fixed the broken link in the original post.

Thanks, Lars.  I did not know that quality.embarcadero.com was still extant.

I will take a few days now, working through piece by piece, until I find what causes this problem.  It will take time!

(I have put 10.3.3 back on the system, and it runs itself and the programme fine!  However, I was impressed

by 10.4 finding a couple of bugs which don't show up in 10.3.3, so you have some people doing great work

there!)
