Dalai Felinto shows the entire process of fixing a bug, in this case for the Video Sequencer Editor. This is the full recording in real-time, check out the timestamps below to jump to the most interesting bits. The actual process is definitely shorter if it wasnt recorded/explained. In the future a more defined/shorter example will be made but since this was recorded it seemed like a great opportunity to show the real approach to bugfixing.
- The bug is: https://developer.blender.org/T71546
