But it does serve as an excellent example of a problem report that's 
high on emotional content and almost completely lacking in actionable data.

For others that might be tempted to imitate this style of problem report 
either here or elsewhere: be aware that a typical developer might finish 
reading it (this one was at least short), but will almost certainly just 
ignore it.  In particular, taunting the developer to "do this and see 
what happens" almost never gets useful results.

If you want a developer to actually act on a problem report, specific 
information is key.  I highly recommend this essay on the subject:
