If I have resolved a story and I have an open bug under the story, should I reopen the story?

If I have resolved a story and I have an open bug under the story, should I reopen the story?

It depends:

Scenario 1: Bug created BEFORE story was resolved
- Yes reopen the story
Scenario 2: Bug created AFTER story was resolved AND the bug CAN clearly be tied to Acceptance Criteria
- I would say no. It should definitely be linked though and raised as discussion point in root cause analysis of the bug.
Scenario 2: Bug created AFTER story was resolved AND the bug CANNOT clearly be tied to Acceptance Criteria
- No. I would even venture to say that this is not a bug, but a story that is the result of poor Acceptance Criteria on the original story and worth discussion in retrospective.

Thanks for providing multiple scenarios in your response. Scenario 2 is exactly the case here. This is helpful. Cheers!
