For some bugs the reporters will tell you that something used to work and doesn't work anymore. These are called regressions.
For some bugs the reporters will tell you that something used to work and doesn't work anymore. These are called regressions. (But first, make sure that it's really only the Thunderbird build that's different between "works" and "doesn't work", and the reporter didn't change 15 other things between testing the new and old Thunderbird build - if he did, that would create major confusion and waste lots of developer time).
Flag these bugs with the regression keyword and it really helps the developers what broke Thunderbird. This can be easily found using our [[Thunderbird:Testing/Regression regression instructions]].
If it's a real regression, flag these bugs with the "regression" keyword, and then find a regression range. This can be easily found using our [[Thunderbird:Testing/Regression regression instructions]].
