It does not matter where the bug was if it can be reproduced via the public API. It is quite common for a test written for one platform later catch a bug on another.

How do we know that if we did not run the test on non-windows platforms?

>Additionally, it's a manual test. If the test is automated, it makes more sense to test for all L&Fs; for a manual test, I'd rather avoid testing in other L&F because the bug never existed there.

For a manual test it is unnecessary but I think it should be possible to automate. And checking of all L&F depends only on how the bug can be triggered and what is wrong.
