Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Issue reports are a pivotal interface between developers and users for receiving information about bugs
in their products. In practice, issue reports often have incorrect information or insufficient information to enable bugs to be reproduced, and this has the effect of delaying the entire bug-fixing process. To facilitate their bug-reproduction work, GitHub has provided a new feature that allows users to share videos (e.g., mp4 files.) Using such videos, reports can be made to developers about the details of bugs by recording the symptoms, reproduction steps, and other important aspects of bug information. Such visual issue reports have the potential to significantly improve the bug-fixing process. In this paper, we conduct a preliminary study to identify the characteristics of visual issue reports by comparing them with non-visual issue reports. We collect 4,173 publicly available repositories. Visual issue reports not only eliminated the worst-case verbalization costs, but also allowed developers to get started quickly and to exchange comments actively. In addition, we observe that most discussions in visual issue reports are concerned with either conditions for reproduction (e.g., when) or GUI (e.g., dropdown.)
