I opened my first bug report with Apple a few weeks back.

After the upgrade to Tiger, I found many, many bugs. Most were instantly noted Internet-wide, but another that I found has not been mentioned anywhere and was not fixed in the 10.4.1 release of OS X.

Here is the text of my hastily-typed bug report:

In Mail.app, go to the main view that lists your messages. If you’ve replied to one, Tiger has a really nifty reply icon in the list view. The idea is that you click on the icon to view your reply. It’s a nice feature and, on my Mac, has a weird bug. If I approach the icon from the left side, the mouseover effect works and I can actually click the icon and the desired action occurs (I get a new window with the message reply). If I approach it from the right, I cannot click it and the mouseover does not work. I have verified this performance on three different hardware sets (Powerbook, iMac and G4 tower) running OS X 10.4

You need an Apple Developer Connection account to report and view bugs.

After I installed Tiger, Mail.app was virtually useless. I suspect .Mac synching issues, all of which seem to have been resolved with the 10.4.1 release. Yet the above-mentioned bug persists.

I document because I love.

On a tangentially-related note, this is a funny bug report—from the most in-depth Operating System review I’ve ever read. :

...don’t know about you, but I like the Panther look a heck of a lot better. The first time I saw the new Mail toolbar, I filed a bug on it. (Radar 3968093: “Toolbar buttons in Mail 2.0 are hideously ugly.”) It was immediately closed as a duplicate, so at least one other person agrees with me.
