By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Q4OS Team 2018-09-25 02:46:53 CDT 
I argue, a user defined entries should take a precedence over a global ones.

Exact steps to reproduce:
- Fresh TDE stable (14.0.5) installation on Debian Stretch.
- Configure system to set the "TEST1" local environment variable. Run terminal commands:
   mkdir ~/.trinity/env
   echo 'export TEST1=local' > ~/.trinity/env/testentry.sh
- Login again and check the value, it will correctly output "local":
   echo $TEST1
- Set the same "TEST1" environment variable as a global one:
   sudo mkdir /opt/trinity/env
   echo 'export TEST1=global' | sudo tee /opt/trinity/env/testentry.sh
- Login again to check it:
- Bug: "echo $TEST1" outputs value "global" instead of "local". I argue, a user defined entries should take a precedence over a global ones.
