FAD

Here’s an acronym that’s music to a developer’s ears: FAD (functioning as designed).

It usually arises due to something that QA thinks is a defect, but actually isn’t. So if it’s FAD then nothing is broken; nothing needs to be fixed.

Or, to put it another way: “it’s not a bug, it’s a feature!”

    I used to reply my customer the same way. Normally ask them to file for enhancement request instead.
