While we generally prefer bug reports for which there is a small
reproducible test case, I'd also say that filing a bug is better than
not filing a bug, because chances are, *somebody* else out there might
have encountered the same problem but haven't bothered to report it. If
the problem isn't reported, then your helpful description will just get
lost in the dusts of forum history, and it will never get fixed. If it's
at least filed, then there's *some* hope somebody will figure out what
the problem is and fix it.
