Package: reportbug
Version: 7.10.3+deb11u1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: cw689@Z46860.e4ward.com

Dear Maintainer,

I am trying to report a bug in reportbug using reportbug.

I got to the part where it asks me to select a text editor,
so, I selected vim.tiny, but, now, the text I need to copy
and paste here is hidden by the text editor display. And I
can't scroll up (Mate Terminal or vim.tiny problem or just
the way it is or has to be?).

I'm sure it won't be hard to work around it, but, it's just
such a dumb thing to have happen.

As described in your report you are using stable. You won't get the
package versions from testing and unstable through apt there.

Reportbug says: "Please try to verify...". This does not necessarily
mean you have to try to install a new version and test it. You can also
read the changelog of the version in unstable, check the bug tracking
system for reported and resolved bugs, read the source code, etc.

There are too many possibilities to list them here, so reportbug leaves
it to the user to figure out how they want to try. Of course the user
can also decide not to try and report the issue anyway.

Yes, I do see the point that a 'stable' user seeing this message for the
first time may not immediately know what to do with this, i.e., how they
can try. However, experience shows that users are normally able to pick
an answer to the question, and that is good enough in practice.
Therefore I'm closing this bug. Thank you anyway for reporting.
