Team's Response

Thank you for your response to our application.

Although these commands are commands with duplicate parameters, they are not in the same order, thus they are not exactly duplicate commands. Furthermore, we do not see an reason why a user will do the same command, with the same parameters, in a format that is different. It does not appear to us that this will happen on a very regular basis because it does not value-add to the user/developer at all, to flip the order of parameters just because they want to achieve the same function from the application.

Thus, even though we note that this is a bug we could consider, however, the flaw is unlikely to affect normal operations of the product, and it will only appear in very rare occasions, because the user/developer has no reason to produce commands with duplicate parameters in a different order for the parameters in any instance at all. It will thus, only cause users/developers minor inconvenience only. Thus, this bug would have only been accepted as a bug with low severity.

Adding on, the commands are in fact still typed differently thus, as stated in Section 3.1.2 of our User Guide, we do not store commands if they are duplicates, and commands that are typed differently as identified here are not duplicates. Thus, this is expected behaviour and arguably out of scope.

Duplicate status (if any):
