How to log a bug on Internet Explorer?

Question

I found a clear squared bug on IE7/8, which appears via automation (still looking for a workaround, btw).

So, I tried with no luck to find a way to log this bug. Tried the forum way, but it seems this site is somehow not so active these days.

I even tried to mail Chris Wilson, but honestly, I don't put so much hope in this attempt ;o)

So, do anyone know a way to log a bug on IE?

Thanks, Vincent

Answer 1

According to http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/07/30/wanted-ie8-beta-testers.aspx:

Currently the only way to directly file a bug with the IE Team is to be a part of the IE8 Technical Beta program on Microsoft Connect.

However, that post also said:

If you wish to be a part of making IE better by contributing great bug reports then please email us at IESO@microsoft.com and tell us a little about yourself including why you’d be a great beta tester.

Maybe emailing Chris Wilson was a good idea!

I think people running these bug lists are listening:

As Phil said, using the IE Feedback system is your best bet, although results vary from "yeah thanks for the report" to "sorry maybe in the next release" ;-)

Can you elaborate on the bug or provide some code? We may have an answer if we know the exact issue. I'd also be happy to submit the bug for you in connect if I have enough details to reproduce it.
