Agreed. I remember that I was one of very many people who reported on a bug in Alacarte that spanned several years, including more than one fix that didn't. Almost all of the notes on the bugs were reports by people who'd been bitten by it and almost without exception they read, roughly, "I tried to edit a menu and the program crashed." Although not exactly helpful, especially when it's the forty-second time the bug's been reported, it was true, as far as it went. What normally wasn't mentioned was that it only happened if you made any changes, and only on exit, and that may be part of the reason it took so long to repair.
