> If "broken" means the opposite of "useable", then no.
You can make up your own language if you want. Or you can tell us all how you press the Edit button on the existing snippets and accomplish something in the resulting editing mode.
> So you had a problem with snippets and you decided you didn't want to read the whole documentation for snippets. Is that the best of your problem solving abilities?
I read the relevant documentation. You obviously didn't, or you'd know that the documentation fails to discuss editing the existing snippets, or what happens if you create conflicting ones. Also, quite a bit of the "snippets" documentation pertains to DashCode, not normal code. And you seem to be in the dark as to the purpose of a GUI.

It's good to have hobbies.

Any.

I agree. That's why I pointed it out.

Well, Apple disagrees. They confirmed the bug, and it's even a duplicate of Radar 9780657. If you think a totally broken editing function is a "minor bug", I guess we can assume you didn't file it. Not that anyone wondered.
