Hi Robert,

the general condition for NEW is that information the Bug report is 
complete and reliable so that a developer can start with hacking without 
need to do additional basic research. The most important info is short, 
but clear instruction how to reproduce the problem
We have some brief hints here
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugTriage#Set_Status_.26_Prioritize> 
what should get some more detailed completion on QA-FAQ with some kind 
of check list, I will start a draft next days.

So I completely agree with your concerns and Joren's notes concerning 
"Bug 60217": we need more info there.

Although we have some tendency to to lower the bar for NEW because there 
is some danger that a Bug too often becomes visited without possibility 
to add more info (where a developer might be able to find out the 
missing info very quickly), a clear instruction is mandatory.

Best regards

Rainer
