the issue is fixed / has been fixed
http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=2661782 Let me get this clear. "The bug is fixed" means "somebody fixes the bug", i.e. somebody constantly or repeatedly fixes the bug, right? As in "bugs are fixed by programmers". On the other hand, "the bug has been fixed" means that the bug has already been fixed. Nobody is fixing it any more. Isn't there enough difference to prefer one variant..
