I wasn't bothering /you/ with bug reports. I was posting a generic question
on the mailing list to see if anyone else was experiencing the same problem.
Sheesh, some people in the RISC OS world get so tetchy about things! People
need to chill out more.

Speaking as a developer myself, it can often be very difficult to diagnose
what's an actual bug and what's just a misconfiguration or local problem
with a particular machine, hence a quick plea to see if anyone else was
getting the same effects.

IF other people had reported the same thing, then I'd have investigated
further and hopefully obtained more meaningful diagnosis and log files,
which would have been duly submitted to the bug tracker. No point clogging
it up with pseudo or false-alarm 'bugs' until some of the more serious bugs
already catalogued in it have been fixed.
