There is a tracker entry, but please understand it's the middle of the night here and I'm in and out. I think Sig will know the details more off the top, otherwise I'll search later. Would you rather I say nothing about a known bug?
no, it is not saying nothing. Your reply to Marcus' mail (if it is in the list) is exactly what Marcus meant. Nobody (including me) takes the time to add something. A question is written quickly but at the same time you are making your own case easy while wasting someone elses time. Excuses are the wrong reaction IMHO. Writing a couple of emails and state that you don't have time is a contradiction. It is one that we like to oversee because we are lazy guys. So if you need an advize from me than I would suggest that while you are tired write it down on a piece of paper. On the next day spend some fresh time scanning the issue tracker and come up with something substantial being either a new bug entry or a concrete question. Norbert

If memory serves, this has been reported (Sig, I'm thinking of the even sensor or similar bug) and is a known problem. I did look over the list, don't see it mentioned, at least not in terms that jump out at me. Could be wrong. It's a BAD bug IMHO.
Look, I know you are not making this up and are trying to more forward, BUT: you really, really, have to provide a detailed bug report before anyone can even try to help you. You write software yourself, you presumably have users for it, you know how this works.
You are describing things in very general terms and use strong negative adjectives, this won't work.
Give us a (short/simple) way to reproduce your problem, please.
