Report bugs where something is broken, preventing normal/typical use of Mp3tag.

I appreciate every bug report that helps to make Mp3tag even better, but I kindly ask you to take the following steps before posting.

**Before posting a bug report**

- Install the latest [Development Build](http://developer.mp3tag.de) and check whether the bug is still present.
- Look at the existing open topics in the bug reports category and make sure that the bug has not been reported yet.
- Check the files for errors (in case it's file-related). [How to check files for errors?](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/how-to-check-files-for-errors/44633)

**While posting a bug report**

- Provide step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce bug.
- Report only one bug per topic. Open multiple topics for multiple bugs.
- Choose a topic title that explains the problem.

**Thank You** 🙂

When I had a look at the bug report, I'll assign one of the following bug states:

- #awaiting-user-feedback More feedback is needed from the OP or any other person who is able to reproduce the issue.
- #bug-confirmed I'm able to reproduce the bug or can confirm it's existence otherwise and will fix it in a future release.
- #bug-fixed The bug is fixed and is shipped with either the latest [Development Build](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/mp3tag-development-build-status/455) or the public release.
- #Support or #No Bugs The bug report is either a support issue or I don't consider it as a bug of the program. As a consequence the topic is moved to the respective category.
