In theory that will work. In practice, it's a waste of time for everyone to file duplicate bug reports of problems (like this one) that are already well-known and have been acknowledged many times on this list by developers and Apple engineers.


The underlying problem is that there's no way for a 3rd party developer to find the Radar bug number of a problem without filing their own duplicate of it and waiting for it to come back marked as a dup.

I can also imagine some scalability problems with Apple developer support having to manually answer every developer email asking about a bug-fix...

Jens,

My experience that goes back to the NeXT days tells me that it is not waste of time to file a bug report, even if you are absolutely sure it will be marked as a duplicate. First it will help Apple engineers to prioritize. And second, you can follow when the bug is fixed.

My rule is simple - if I find a bug that bytes me (or incorrect documentation) I am reporting it as if I was the first person in the Universe to discover it.
