Inconsistent naming of reliability and bugs in report versus the portal

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1

I downloaded a regulatory report from our project on SonarQube Server version 2025.5.0.113872. The report shows a lot of bugs in the Overall Code section, but we see a different number in the SonarQube portal.

I found out that the report shows Code smells as bugs. I think the naming should be consistent and code smells should not be marked as a more serious category “Bugs”. Now the state of the code looks worse in the report than online.

Hi @Roald,

Sorry for the super late response.

Thanks for reporting this, it is indeed a bug. The PDF is showing the count of reliability issues (from MQR mode) instead of bugs (from the standard experience).

I’ve created a ticket to address this: Jira.
