Yes, for every time a bug like this is discovered and reported, there are probably hundreds of times when someone else just gave up or found a work around after much frustration.

I'm frequently astonished by how terrible and buggy modern software can get away with being and still survive. Working around bugs to accomplish what I need to accomplish is so normal to me now that I sometimes don't even notice how terrible the software is until I see someone less technically skilled than me try to use it.
