Sorry, I think there is a misunderstanding.

I don't want to discuss things like "a cell should become a parbox" in 
bugzilla! I would like to file bugs like "update() is called five times 
but it should be called only twice" (i.e. there is some bug in the code 
which has no user visible consequences - except maybe performance)
