I know that ‘+1’- or ‘I’ve the same issue’-comments were a problem on GitHub, but from my experience (I’m a maintainer on some repos) this problem has been solved by GitHub’s Reactions.
I found a GitHub issue that has been closed as a ‘wontfix’, because it’s a ‘rare use case’. Why should that issue be locked? Things can change and what was a rare case back then, it can be an important feature right now. It’s all up to you, but in my experience duplicate issues (or no new issue with new information at all) are more annoying then having to remove some ‘+1’ comments sometimes.
Back to why I started this thread in the first place. I still have some problems with (USB) tethering. These topics are about the same issue:
This isn’t a support question, but a feature request. I’m not an Android developer, so I’m not sure if this is a problem that can’t be fixed because of some Android limitations. Can one of those topics be re-opened (not being a support question) so we can discuss this issue?
