Fixing wrong update of UI during feature freeze #297

Closed potty10 closed 1 year ago

potty10 commented 1 year ago

Hi,

Let's say I have a command that changes a part of the UI differently in various situation (Example, show A or B). However, during testing, we found that it showed A instead of B. Is fixing it considered violating the feature flaw freeze? We will not be changing the UI A and B itself.

During feature freeze, assume that we have to remove a feature. This will cause feature B to change UI in a different way as advertised. Will this be considered violating feature freeze?

As the current behavior is incorrect (i.e., UI shows the wrong thing), it will qualify as a bug. Hence, fixing it is allowed during the feature freeze.

This can be allowed too, but only to the minimal extent necessitated by the removal of the feature.
