Delphi Bug Lists

Submitting Bug Reports

Before sending a bug report, please have a look at the following directions. If you follow these, your bug report has a much higher chance of being processed promptly.

Please include the following information:

One bug report per email
A short description of the bug (one or two lines)
Can you reproduce the problem
Give information that enables us to reproduce the behaviour; this requires that detailed, technical step-by-step instructions are given.
If possible and applicable, please send a small source code sample (max. 50 KB ZIP-compressed, at most 1000 lines of code)
Explain why you think it is a bug

What is the behaviour / output you would expect?
Is this behaviour described in the documentation (online help, handbooks)?
What is the behaviour you get?
How is this different and is this really wrong?

What's the cause (if known)
Do you have a workaround?
We must know the exact version of Delphi you are using.
Only bugs concerning the latest releases of a version are accepted.
See the 'which version of Delphi is this?' page.
Let us know the operating system you are using: Windows 3.11 / 95 / 98 / NT 3.51 / NT 4.0; (plus patch/OSR levels)
(This is not in all cases necessary; the reporter may decide)

Bugs may be reported in the following languages (ordered alphabetically):

English

We prefer you to use English because we *will* have to translate the bug reports into English for publishing. If you can't provide all this information but still think what you have to tell is relevant for the Bug List: don't hesitate to send it to us; at worst, you'll be asked to clarify on specific points.

Please send your bug report to DelphiBugList_AT_poboxes.com.
Note: replace "_AT_" with "@". The Email address has been crippled to reduce spam.
