Refering to attitude doesn't always mean that someone is refering to a 'nasty' attitute, it can also mean a less productive way of doing things. Not logging all bugs that occur means that when a developer works on fixing bugs in an area of wine, they don't know that other apps may be suffering from other bugs in the same area. By knowning what apps are affected by various bugs, it means that developers can do additional testing to check that their fixes work in all cases and not just for a small subset. But if you have the attitute that you only log 1 bug and wait for that to be solved before the next one, then developers could already have worked on the areas that you have already seen bugs, fixed them for the known affected apps at the time and moved on. But the fix doesn't work for your apps and it could be some time before they come back to look at that area again. Personnally I think that if you don't log all the bugs you encounter (assuming they are not duplicates), then you make it harder for developers to help you. -- Darragh "Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool."
