I guess there's a subtle difference between "works for me" and "can't reproduce". I, as the bug report responder, would never say the former as it souds kind of dismissive. Like in, "i reproduced your exact environment and it works for me". The latter admits that you're probably missing some context that makes the reproduction impossible.

But other people will feel differently about this.

How you say things can be so important ...

"Can't reproduce" implies you have tried to replicate the error, you've put in a bit of effort to help the person with the problem.

"Works for me", on the other hand, *could* mean the same thing. It could also mean "I don't suffer that problem, so I can't be bothered to look for it".

And then there's the language problem. I'm probably known for being a bit prickly about language and how, even when you may think you're speaking the "same" language, the identical word may mean different things based on the speaker's background.

Cheers,
