Re: Workflow status - bug?

Hm, sounds like a bug. A workflow is determined to be finished if=20
there's absolutely no way it can progress any further. It'd be great if=20=

you can come up with a small example workflow (basically the one below)=20=

that shows the problem and filed a report for it with jira.

Also, your solution of having an empty final step works just fine, yeah.
