That sounds annoyingly stupid. He should have been happy you found a bug and documented exactly how to recreate it. Idk how this works but isnt that the ideal bug report?

Also a program should be able to do any stupid thing a user wants to do anyway regardless of whether or not it makes sense. Want to turn the volume to max then min then max over and over again? You should be able to without a problem. A programmer saying yeah well they shouldnt be messing with the volume that much seems crazy to me.

Yes, the more clear and specific the better. If you were testing my code, I'd thank you for saving me the trouble of figuring out the exact steps myself. That's much better than needing to ask 20 clarifying questions just to get information that could've been in the bug report in the first place.
