This is a manual test. A typical example, a human uses a toolbar or 
another such tool to *help* identify issues. It is a manual testing mode 
but a tool was used to some extent.

Agreed, this is an issue but I don't know how to fix it.

This could also be manual for the reason highlighted in the scenario 
above. Any other suggestions to tackle the issue?
