Comment on Skype 5 for Mac blocks all webcam access by Flash. Skype says it is "by design"parent

Comments

To be fair, Beom Soo Park just posted a follow-up comment correcting his mistake in not calling it a bug.

"I have to rectify the term I used before, this issue found to be a "bug", not "by design", We are working on the issue and will be fixed in future updates. Sorry for making confusions.

Thank you"

If true, it would seem that this simple misdescription has been blown out of proportion.

I wouldn't call it a "simple misdescription." It changed the entire meaning of the sentence and probably prevented it from getting fixed for release. It's about as big a mistake as you can make in a bug tracker.

Is Skype offshoring major development duties? That would be a serious red flag in my book.
