Designing complex web application is not anything trivial. Beside obvious
static SW design complexities - there are dynamic differences in behavior
between different OS's, Linux distros, browsers and browser versions.

Given that the most of the web application cost is spent on the dynamic
(OS/distro/browser/version/userSettings) complexity and testing - I do not
find it surprising that a web app is behaving differently with different
browser and OS.

If I would be a company or a little (almost) individual maintainer I would
pick one or two mainstream combinations of OS/browser for my target market
- design and test for that combination - and call it a day.

If that decision would prove to be painful because of an outlier user(s),
paying or not, I would have to make uncomfortable serve/doNotServe choices.

It is always good idea to think of others (creators) to understand ones
realistic expectations.
