When I have been working on Hobo apps it's quite usual to find Hobo causing weird bugs. With the lack of development resources I refer to the fact that there's been very little bug fixing since the stable 1.0 for example. Here's a couple of bugs that an active project probably would have fixed in bug fix releases to their latest stable already:
