I don’t have information on hand about this particular bug, however some potential reasons a bug may not be fixed in a particular patch:
- We cannot reproduce the bug internally meaning it has a much longer investigation time
- The fix is very complicated, requiring a larger amount of dev time
- The bug’s overall impact (severity and/or number of affected users) is less than others with the same demands for resources
- The fix may be reliant on another system or fix being completed
- The fix touches either a large number of systems, or critical systems requiring more QA
- There’s only so many hours between the QA, production, and release management teams to process bugs
Just because it’s not fixed doesn’t mean it’s ignored, we’re aware of it and on it!
