Tell me the scenario where sevirity More and Priority Low?

[kothai.sp]

We define Sevirity for an Issue based on the following example.

1.Major functionality say "Add an employee" is broken where you can't add an employee to the organization then its rate is high.

2.Same UI fancy view , or when u try to do a action say "advanced search by an special character" ,it produces system errror---even in this priority should be given low as doesn't affect anything.

Severity means Technical(i.e if the application is shuts down,when we perform one function in the Application,the severity level is high)

Priority means Bussiness(If we are going to deliver a build,in that build defect may be low severity,but the Priority is high.)

Severity only decided by the tester.Priority will be decided by the PM.

also
Severity describes seriousness of the defect with respect
to functionality
where
Priority describes importance of defect to solve with
respect to customer.
