Hmm. Didn't even know this issue comes from TCM. Anyway.

Please look at issues targeted "2.x", with owner "oj" or "fs", and
you'll see that the Base team has a lot of other things to do, before
fixing a "P4 OOoLater" task.

As much as I understand that it's frustrating to report/QA bugs which
don't get attention for years, that's, as said in another thread here, a
matter of resources and priorities.

And, in the hope this doesn't sound too harsh: I would not be willing to
spend any (non-negligible) amount of time into an issue just to satisfy
TCM (or any other QA process, for that matter). That is, if the bug does
have a very limited impact only *in real life* (as indicated by the
priority), then I'd consider it a waste of precious resources to fix it
before the more important issues.

I know that in testtool, as well as in the automated UNO API test
scripts, there are mechanisms to log such "this is a known bug with
number #i12345#" events, and to *not* count them as test error. I'd say
TCM needs something similar - simply because QA resources are equally
precious, and should not be wasted, too.

Ciao
Frank
