The 'Report a bug' button doesn't work (Windows 10)

When I press the button to report a bug it opens an empty window in my internet browser (Google Chrome in this case) and does nothing else. The suggest a feature button seems to work and leads to https://adobefresco.uservoice.com/, but I am unsure if that is the correct place to report bugs.

Hello hardRoundSizeFlow,

Sorry to hear about this experience. The "Report a Bug" triggers an email that would be handled by the default mail application on your computer.

Kindly try changing the MAILTO application default under Windows Settings to an email client like Outlook/Thunderbird and share your observations.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,

Feature requests and bug reports are definitely different.

As others have already focused on the expected result of chosing 'Report a bug'. I'm curious... What is the bug you were hoping to report when you ran into the issue of not having the email client open to allow you to report it?

Just for comparison, I also used the "report a bug" feature on my Windows machine, and here is what went into the body of the email. Note that if you didn't get an email opening up, you may not have your mail handling options configured properly in the OS to open your mail client. When I did this in Windows the first time, it asked me which program to use for mail links:

App Version: 3.8.0.1027 (Windows)
OS Version: 10.0.22000.856
Device Model: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. (Z690 AORUS ELITE AX DDR4)

The "Report a Bug" feature should open your email editor, with a mail addressed to frescohelp@adobe.com - with the subject line, "Fresco bug report." You could create this manually on your own.

In the body of the mail, it pre-populates data according to your app and device. For example, with my iPad Pro, I get the following data in the body of the email:

App version: 3.8.0.3.8.0.1625 (64-bit)

OS Version: 15.6

Device Model: iPad Pro 1 (11") (iPad8,1)

Available Memory: 3069 MB
