It's been a known issue for months, but fixing it doesn't seem like a priority.
https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/issues/757
In fairness, I also am one of those people who has not been fixing it. But I just made a comment on that ticket to try to help find the bug in the code.
If anyone else can jump in with helpful comments on that ticket, please do. Or even just give the reporter a thumbs up to show how many people are affected (and also have a github account, and are willing to tie that account to being an Amethyst user).
I appreciate all the work the devs are doing. So many good ideas, how do you prioritize?
How can a non developer like me best contribute? Perhaps creating a bounty for the things I want.
We all have ideas, its up to the developers to choose what to focus on with 'volunteer' time. I appreciate you developing things you want instead of making more money developing elsewhere.
Here are dome ways non-developers can help:
Give issues that affect you a thumbs up on the issue tracker (GitHub in this case). Same for feature requests on the issue tracker. This shows the developers what things people want them to work on. They may not do so, but it enables them to make an informed decision.
On a related note, don't post comments like "this affects me too" on the issue tracker. A thumbs up indicates this and having a long list of comments like that risks people missing something important.
Help with testing and add any details that are missing. Steps to reproduce the issue are critical. Other examples: "this bug doesn't affect Android 13 and below" or "introduced in version xyz".
Be concise with your comments.
Link related issues together. Often it's helpful to know about other issues when a developer is already in that section of the code working on something else. Plus, it can help avoid making one problem worse when fixing another.
Creating a bounty is a good one, if you can afford it.
Spread the word about the project. I know this one sounds cheesy, but the more users a project has, the more likely it is that additional people will help with all of the things above (or people you share it with might be developers who can help with the code).
