If you think you have found a bug in any OSF software, you should look at the following guides before deciding whether to file a bug report or not.
So, if your suspected bug is an actual bug, the first thing you should do is check if it has already been reported by searching through the existing bugs and the release notes.
If it has not been reported, then you can report a new bug. Fill out a useful summary and select which application it happened in. If you do not know, read finding the right package or ask someone on #OSF-bugs on the Freenode IRC server. Then fill out the description with as much information as you can, including the version of OSF application you are using. It is better to have more information than too little.
Once you have filled out the package name, summary and description, click on "Submit Bug Report". When entering your initial description of the bug it is not possible to add attachments. However, after you have clicked "Submit Bug Report" it is then possible to add attachments. Unless you are experienced, it is best if you leave the other fields blank or with their default information. You are now done with your initial report but will mostly likely be contacted for more information about your bug.
