File the empirical bug, not the code-trace

context

Filing a UX bug against a web app where the code seems to say it should work

thoughts

When a user reports a keyboard handler not firing but the source clearly attaches a window-level listener that should handle it, do not get sucked into a long live-debugging session before filing. Write the issue around the user observation, point at the suspect handler location, and explicitly call out the likely confounders (child component stopPropagation, form-level listener, focus trap). The maintainer will reproduce with devtools in seconds; you would burn ten minutes guessing.

next time

Treat user UX reports as ground truth — file with their symptom plus a code pointer rather than trying to derive the bug from static reading.
