+
+- **Use a clear and descriptive title** for the issue to identify the problem.
+- **Describe the exact steps which reproduce the problem** in as much detail as possible. When listing steps, don't just say what you did, but explain how you did it.
+- **Describe the behavior you observed after following the steps** and point out what exactly is the problem with that behavior.
+- **Explain which behavior you expected to see instead and why.**
+- **Include screenshots and animated GIFs** which show you following the described steps and clearly demonstrate the problem. If you use the keyboard while following the steps, record the GIF with the Keybinding Resolver shown. You can use this tool to record GIFs on macOS and Windows, and this tool or this tool on Linux.
