When I find in multiple files this drives me nuts, or clicking through errors, with the tree in the left pane constantly changing. So, I submitted a bug report: #9262331. It was closed as a duplicate of #7493248. OK, great, other's have put that in.

This has been a problem for a while. I have had conversations over 10 years ago with Radar people (Radar is bugreport.a.c from inside Apple) and they knew it was lame then. As far as I am concerned, filing a bug is just throwing a dirty sock over the wall. I will spend a few minutes on it, but no more. Maybe it is a new bug, but there are _so many_ bugs hanging out there, millions of them really, that it is pretty sure to be a duplicate.
If Apple wanted us to take the time to characterize the bugs more fully, they would give us access to the bug that our bug is a duplicate of. Al least then we could all see what the work-arounds might be, since work-arounds go to the original bug and no other. If Apple does not want to share the information, why should we waste our time with it?
