Comment (by ryandesign):

 Ken, I reopened the ticket because "fixed" was not the correct resolution.
 If we want to change the documentation to clarify interactive mode's
 purpose and scope, we can do that, and then change the ticket's component
 to "guide" and mark the ticket fixed. If we want to communicate to the
 user that what they have reported is not a bug, and that everything is
 behaving as designed, the correct resolution is "invalid". It's not meant
 to be rude and condescending; it's meant to communicate that the problem
 being reported is not considered to be a problem (or, in the case of
 problems outside of our control, such as OS bugs, not our problem). Some
 other issue trackers use the resolution "notabug" for this type of issue.
 We use "invalid" because that's what Trac comes configured with by default
 and it's what we've been using for over a decade so it's tedious to change
 it now. If we want to communicate that we acknowledge there is a problem
 but we will not fix it, the correct resolution is "wontfix".
