@ -167,7 +167,10 @@ Here are some things to keep in mind when submitting a bug report:
* include the output of `M-x version` in your report,
* mention whether youre using color-theme or the Emacs 24 theme,
* include the names of Emacs faces that you have a problem with (`M-x describe-face` will tell you the name of the face at point),
* include the names of Emacs faces that you have a problem with (`M-: (face-at-point)` and `M-x describe-face` will tell you the name of the face at point),
* include the output of `M-: (display-color-cells)` (that lets us know which set of colors your Emacs is using),
* screenshots are very helpful (before and after if you made a change),
* if youre using a terminal, the name of the terminal and (if you can find out) the number of colors the terminal app is using,
* also if youre using a terminal, try running Emacs in GUI mode, and see if the problem exists there (if it does, report the bug that way, if not, just mention that its a terminal-only bug),
* its very helpful (but not expected) if you can compare it to a similar situation in VIM (especially if you know the VIM highlight name or have a screenshot), and
* `M-x customize-apropos-faces` can help you find all the relevant faces if you are submitting faces for a mode.
