Oh well, let me add some thoughts too.

I agree with you ArtPearl that the Mac version of 7 is not perfect and needs a lot of improvement still. Especially the OpenGL situation is a major issue, as long as you do not have the right graphic card (unfortunately I have not found out yet which one this is). So all that do not work (for long, some of the guys who replied here have a Mac in their fleet) on Macs probably do not understand what you talk about.

I have not read through all of your bugs word by word, but I have the impression that most can be "reduced" to the OpenGL situation, even when it does not look like it directly. The drop issue is one of those, probably because without noticing you clicked too long and therefore did a smart drop instead of the normal one.

But now a word for e-on. In my last life (20 year ago) I was developing graphic simulation software. I had a major job to fix bugs in a software a colleague has worked on for five years. I can tell you this was a really hard experience. It took me almost two years to find the major ones and get them out. Even when it looks obvious for the users, to find the cause in millions of lines of code  can be pure horror.

Means? Well, when we find a bug and report it, it is not a switch e-on has to move and all is wonderful. It can take time and sometimes, even worse, it creates other bugs that you (as developer) do not expect. I can write stories about exactly this, I tell you. 

Means? Time, patience and a lot of re-reporting to make the developers understand that the problem is still there. I just did this today with three bugs i have reported (differently from yours btw).

One day your ship comes in - but you're at the airport.
