[Bf-committers] Running Blender from Command Line skips Auto Execution of Driver Scripts

[Antony Riakiotakis]

When reporting an issue, it is very important to make it easy for others to
reproduce the issue, so a blend file set up in a way that requires a
minimum amount of steps to reproduce the issue should be included. On the
steps you have included above there are too many steps left for others
already. A file that has steps 2 and 3 should be set up and and a
description of the expected behaviour should be included or we cannot know
if we are on the same ground.

Our bug tracker is ideal for such discussions. It allows attaching files,
even if this is not really a bug we can determine it there, and such
discussions do not really belong on the mailing where people not interested
in the bug end up getting emails about it.

In general, if unsure, report anyway. Worst case we close the report with
an explanation. We do not hunt people with pitchforks for invalid bug
reports unless it is a blatantly trolling case.
