That subtle distinction is important from a development standpoint and
often confuses, rightfully so but is important to properly categorize them.
Users can not know what code is expected to do, we don't have access to it. Neither is there any documentation of any features. Therefore if a feature does not behave as expected by users, it is a bug.

If this is undesirable, roll up your sleeves and man up- document your code. It is what would be demanded from you if you were employed by a software company.
