Comment 16 for bug 421048

It is discouraging that the policy for many bugs is to simply wait until a newer version comes along so they can be downgraded and then closed with out any real investigation. I understand that developer resources are limited but shouldn't the bug remain 'Confirmed' until proven otherwise? This bug has been downgraded to 'Incomplete' with no evidence that the bug has been fixed other than a lack of recent reports.

I think the process should be to first ask if the bug still occurs. Then if there are no updates for some time or people can confirm that the bug no longer exists in the newer version then the status can be changed. Otherwise, it puts too much burden on the bug reporters to fight for a bug's status only to be repeatedly smacked down. Particularly the original reporter should have a chance to comment before the status is changed.

I haven't seen this bug in awhile because I stopped using the machine it occurred on. I believe it is related to faulty Nvidia hardware and/or drivers.
