I know this is a old post but I have to reply.

Beings I have worked for a software company for the last 5 yrs, doing tech support, the one question that comes to mind. Have you reported your findings to the company, or are you just complaining?

Most companies do not know there is a bug in there software unless they are told about it. Even in beta and alpha test, they generally only test what has been reported.

Also, it is not like they break things on purpose, many times a fix in one area will affect how the code works in another area. It has nothing to do with competency or even paying attention to detail. This is something I have learn over the last 5 yrs. Before that I was a user of the program I know do tech support for, so I understand where your coming from, but know I also understand the other side of the coin.

Don't get me wrong, bitching and complaining isn't a bad thing, but if you want something done about it, you NEED to report it.
