Sorry, last night HN didn't show me a "reply" button on the thread, so I thought maybe it tapped out at a depth of four? I'm not dodging :) [edit: does HN have account score thresholds at which different features get enabled?]

I don't have security-bugs access, but I explained offline to the OP that "Won't Fix" covers a lot of cases, including "already fixed" / "duplicate", not simply "your bug report is being ignored".

OP also sent me some more information about the BrowserStack setup, and it looks like both the M42 and M43 builds that OP was testing against are nearly a month old and before the fix (merged to M42 late in beta phase, M43's still in dev/canary stage).

Aha, the automatic flamewar limiter I guess. Happens to me as well. (clicking on the xx minutes ago link seems to help most of the time.)

I don't know what I'd do if anyone reporting to me used wontfix for all those kind of cases. It doesn't exactly encourage bug reporting.

TY, I'll update the readme.md when I get home tonight.

And you are right, it was initially marked as "Won't Fix" because it was not immediately reproducible, but further research yielded it being discovered as an "already fixed" dupe.

FYI it seems there is a minimum age (a minute or so) to a comment in order to reply. At least that was my experience last night.
