Yes, I see it.

In the case of my two bugs, they were not set to "resolved" (by Paradigma).
They were already set to "closed".

This does not appear to be the case.  I can click on the popup menu that
lists "Closed", but the only option on the popup menu that I can choose is
"Closed".

This is clearly not true, since in both cases I was the bug reporter.

And thus I say, "Good theory, but no Cigar"; i.e. it sounds good in practice
but there's no Cigar reward for being true in fact.  The English "no Cigar"
idom comes from the outdated practice of awarding Cigars to winners of skill
games at circus events.

That would be nice.
