probably this last assertion was blundering :-( I want to encourage
users reporting bugs but not to spam of course. Unfortunately for
beginners it is hard  to clearly identify if a bug is already reported
or not (I made a lot of duplicates while starting reporting bugs) so we
have to accept that new users  make such errors if we want that more
persons get involved.

yes, I absolutely agree with this.

I understand your point of view, I know you do a lot of work so seeing
the amount of unresolved bugs can be discouraging . But from my user
point of view the system doesn't work so bad : I see scilab is improving
year after years.

have a nice day!
