ArtPearl, step back a little bit, take a deep breath, and gain a bit of perspective on your bug situation.  You are too good of an artist to be so impatient.  As I see it, since you installed Vue 7 four  months ago, you have reported 12 bugs.  5 of these are already fixed and working (if you include bug 6).  1 is fixed by e-on but coming out in a later build (Bug 5). 1  isn't a bug at all but changes in how Vue 7 works (Bug 10).  Another one (Bug 12) isn't a bug period.  1 bug can't be reproduced (Bug 8).  1 is a feature request (Bug 11).  And so you are left with 2 bugs as yet unresolved:

  1. The Dislexia bug (Bug 7) sounds like an important one to get fixed since this will have a major impact on your workflow and can lead to unwanted input errors.  Are you using a wireless keyboard by chance and perhaps getting some interference?  I had this happen to me on an older PC wireless keyboard that would sometimes go batty when my cell phone rang. 

  2. The number overflow display (Bug 9) does absolutely nothing to impact your workflow or the integrity of the scene.  It's a user interface display annoyance to be sure, but would understandably have a very low priority to get fixed.

So as I see it, you have one high priority bug that you should be focused on (Bug 7).  The danger you are going to run into is the "boy who cried wolf" syndrome by insisting that all of these bugs are indeed issues that demand an equally high priority.  They don't and they shouldn't.  Invest your valuable time and energy on the high priority items and have a bit of patience and understanding on the ones that aren't.
