You would be surprised.

Because each reported bug is tracked in the BTS (bug tracking system) and will be fixed individually. Mixing multiple bugs and topics in one bug report makes it very difficult to follow. Small individually targeted bugs are easier to work through and more likely to be fixed than one big bag of many things. This message thread is a good travelogue of your journey but I don't see a particular bug to be fixed. Therefore I have marked this bug ticket as closed. Please feel free to continue adding information to it. If you want to *discuss* something without opening a bug ticket please send discussion to the [email protected] address. If you find a bug please send them individually to the [email protected] address where each message (like this one) will open a bug ticket that is tracked. If you have several bugs please report them individually. One bug per report please. Feel free to discuss them on the discussion list first. Bob
