Bugs in CubeIDE and how/where to report them?

[nk2]

Hi.

I just started with CubeIDE and with first minutes I dont like it. Too much bugs at the very beginning.

After some fight with bugs it started working finally. But I want tabs, not spaces. I can't find any editor settings. Internal help crashed after click into topic... And still I have spaces :\

Hello @Semer CHERNI ,

Could you please look at this case or find someone who can help?

Thank you.

code formater, you can change almost everything.

spend some time to look and preferences.

Hi,

> Too much bugs at the very beginning.

To report, describe what you did and what was wrong then...

Separate, for every "bug" .

And about your IDE : version, system, clean install ?

My version 1.13.1 , on Linux MX , looking at help in a topic:

Never a problem with this. :)

Note that the CubeIDE is built on Eclipse, so a lot of things like this you can find in general Eclipse documentation - not specific to ST

I Know. I was using Eclipse about 10-20 years ago.

It was not checked and still I had spaces. But I tried one idea - in another (my favorite) editor I changed all two spaces into tabs and after that that IDE started to make tabs as I wanted.

Thx anyway.

I tried to find bug tracker, but I failed. I think that big, probably mature software from such a big company should have some bug tracker or report mechanism - even worst one. Or maybe not... So should I post bugs into forum???

Anyway, that was fresh install (as mentioned earlier in other words) 1.15.1 on a Debian with Linux kernel.

Ok, so which "Linux" IDE version you used ? 

+

Imagine, you are the one at STM , to deal with error reports : now (maybe 20000 users, reporting no problems) one reports, its "not working perfect on my system".

What you would do with this information ?

What would you change on/ for next version ? 

So -as usual- the description of the error has to be as good as possible, to get a reproducible error, then you or anybody can look for the reason and improve something (or not...).

As long as you have a "problem", for unknown reason , only you can do some try and error game, like uninstall, re-install, use other version, do it as root, modify your rights, etc. , to find out : did you something "wrong", is your system in some way "incompatible" (too new, too old, whatever), does other version of IDE download work better, and : can the problem be reproduced ?
