[GNC-dev] v5 breaks multicol reports, why didn't someone check this behavior?

[Wm]

In case you think this belongs in
798809 – Multicolumn report error when reopened after saving. 
(gnucash.org) <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798809>
I agree, it does belong there.

The problem is the fuckwit in charge there doesn't allow reports from 
people that don't suck his penis.

When will someone take the "I'm important I say what gets to be a bug" 
people to task?

Anyway.

This particular bug is breaking v5 for anyone that uses multicol reports.

Those people are, ordinarily, people that group a set of reports 
together, for example, a set of accounts.
An income statement, a balance sheet, that sort of ordinary thing.

Those report combinations no longer work.

Existing reports, those that work using v4_14 work under v5_n *until* a 
save is made to the report store.

As soon as a save is made to the report store using v5 one or more of 
the multicol reports is trashed.

Basically, v5 is destroying existing reports.

I am fortunate, I have scripts from the last time the reports were fucked up
what the scripts do is strip out the individual reports and put them in 
a directory so saved-reports-2.8 can be resurrected after it is trashed

2 questions

Why is the person in charge of bugs still wasting people's time 
masturbating over who said what years ago rather than allowing 
conversation ?

Why is the person who wrote the code that broke the reporting system not 
responding in bugs ?

These are both *human* issues.
