...but you're assuming people will always report the issue, rather than just being annoyed by it. There are many reasons people might not report an issue, if it's a minor problem and not worth their time, for example - they'll just put up with it. It's is still worth fixing, especially if it is one that would me a minor problem for many people, which I imagine, is the case for many UI issues. > > > Are all issues only reported if they're significant enough? > > You can't think of any other reason an issue isn't reported? > > I recognize all the words in these sentences, but put together they > don't seem to mean anything. They mean something to me when I read them. Let me try to rephrase : There are many reasons that an issue isn't reported - being 'significant enough' isn't the only factor. > > > Perhaps it is more in Nokia's interest to get a problem fixed and the > > 'customer' is only doing Nokia a favour by pointing it out...and they > > don't care to put more effort into it and then go away thinking, "Well, > > if they don't care, then neither do I".

Sounds implausible. Perhaps for a single issue, but I said 'Enough of such things'...which (I would say) is always true. Anyway, now I have lost hope of convincing anyone that there can be a better way of improving QtCreator than relying on customers to file bugs. It seems I'm just annoying people, so I'll stop now.
