Fixed bugs vs. fixed installation

I bought a second license and I am currently setting up a new 4.0 site. While doing this over the last weeks I have been filing dozens of bug reports for IPS 4.0. Most of them have been marked “fixed”. However, when I install the newest update, I find, that quite a few persist on my site and it is getting more and more frustrating. My suspicion is: “fixed” is meant for a new IPS installations, but it doesn’t always mean that the upgrade routine is actually fixing the issues on my beta installation. Am I right or am I wrong? 

I don’t know how to go on with this. Reporting the issues again either gets ignored or will end up with “can’t reproduce/closed”. Sure, if the problem doesn’t exist on a new installation, it can’t be reproduced. But that doesn’t resolve the problem on my site.  

But since there are now weeks of work in my installation already, I don’t want to start all over again just to get rid of those bugs. But I also can’t get my site online with those bugs still around.  So what to do? Am I the only one with this problem? How are others dealing with it? Was it my fault to believe I could built my site on beta software and then have all issues resolved with the upgrades?

I sympathise. There were a few bugs in mine that persisted between betas 4 and 5. I started again with a fresh installation and have learned to keep a list of all the changes I've made ready for replication should the need arise in future.

It should fix them in existing installs too. Reply to a few bug reports marked fixed with your experience and we will have a look.

If you can provide links to a few examples I can take a look.

All the following problems are not solved for me. 

 

1. “Revert button deletes templates”. Reported. Fixed. Still persists after upgrading.

2 “Pages filters not working”. Matt explored and fixed it for a sample db on my site. But it persists for another database.

3. “Pages shows only one map/address for different records”. Reported. Fixed. Still persists after upgrading.

4. “certain characters in URL prevent file upload“.

1 & 2: I've asked for some input from Matt on the fixes

3) If you can submit a ticket in your client area with ACP and FTP access ATTN Brandon I'm happy to take a look

4) I couldn't reproduce, it wasn't marked fixed (so this isn't an install vs upgrade thing).  I can take a look if you submit a ticket per #3.

5) I've asked for some input from Andy on this

6) I had replied to the report asking if you can reproduce this still when performing another test step, as I cannot reproduce so we need more information on why you are having this issue.

7) This report is still in Pending status (and in fact we have approximately 3 open bug reports about this issue).
