In reply to Macs and More Den Haag.

Maybe a link to an FAQ would have been helpful, should one be added you think?

Basically all of those 'status' messages revolve around the details of what, why and where code will actually be merged into the main WordPress codebase, a ticket typically won't be closed until the code is 'committed' into WordPress' core codebase.

I'm quite sure @ocean90 wasn't pissed off at you, he was just trying to give a tip on what 'worksforme' actually means.

Nacin only closed the ticket after the code had been 'committed' into the main codebase (See comments 10, 11 & 12) where you see eg "In 26967:" they link to actual code changes that were made.

Here is that definition in full from the 'Trac Handbook'

http://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/trac/

"worksforme: The bug reported in the ticket cannot be reproduced. Sometimes, an existing plugin, hook, or feature may render the ticket moot, so the ticket can be closed without further action."

Hopefully this clears things up for you a little as to the context of that tickets 'workflow' and I'm quite sure no one there meant you any harm, and though it wasn't explicitly added as a comment the '19 watchers' on that ticket most likely found your comment "the problem and this fix now works" helpful, as I know I did. :)
