I’ve subscribed to the Developer Blog Weekly Digest where the weekly stats lists number of bugs reported, fixed, etc. What does “bugs by design” mean? I thought bugs were unintentional, meaning the code is syntactically correct but produces an unintentional result. Rather new category of bugs for me.
It means the bugs, that were closed with reason “by design”.
Let’s suppose you’ve filled a “bug” that describes some “strange” behaviour (you think so), but in fact it has been done intentionally.
In this case bug is closed and marked as “by design”
First googled example: http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/316854721738536/
As you can see – someone found that if message was posted by 3rd party app – it lacks “share button”. But it was implemented in this way intentionally, thus this behaviour is “by design” not a real bug.
