OK - that would not have occurred to me at all. That works in the
Mac world
? Awesome !! I've found plenty of Microsoft bugs, and I was even an
MVP at
the time, they always ignored me, or told me they were features
( and I
found some MAJOR bugs in WPF ). I assume if I go to the Apple Dev
Connection and log in, I'll be able to find a place to log bugs ?

Hah, Apple do something about filed bugs, right.
Looking at the list
of bugs I've filed, the most common state is "Open". The next most
common state is "Duplicate". And don't think that "Duplicate" means
your bug gets merged into the original and now you get told about
what's happening with the original bug. No, "Duplicate" is a black
hole of information. Once your bug is marked "Duplicate", you lose,
game over, no more information will be arriving, ever.
Filing bugs can be worthwhile. Perhaps 5% of the time it actually gets
results. But be prepared for very little reward.
For what it's worth, filing bugs is *very* worthwhile. It lets Apple
know what issues are important to developers and what problems they
are encountering. Logging duplicates is also fine, as it gives us an
idea of what problems are constantly being reported. The 'original'
bug has references to the other bugs, and we use that when diagnosing
the problem; it helps us *greatly* to have that information. Please do
not disregard it as a fruitless effort.
If you encounter a problem that you think is a bug, please go ahead
and log a bug, and include the radar number when you post to this
list. People who have radar access may want to take a look at the
issue you are talking about in your post.
thanks,
