Exactly. This bug should have been taken care of a long time ago. The priorities of OOTP programming are simply just not what they should be. Exterminate all known bugs, THEN write new versions - not leave known old legacy bugs in place while writing new versions that will add even more bugs.

But while fixing exisiting bugs wil increase customer satisfaction, it won't generate new cash flow. Writing new versions generates new cash flow...but it results in customers who are dissatisfied with existing buggy software.

It's all about priorites...
