I know it’s technically Saturday on the East Coast, but we’re close enough to call it Report-an-Apple-Bug-Friday. Today’s bug is particularly harmless but still annoying. Everything that can improve the Mac OS X user experience is a good thing, so even if this issue is only cosmetic, it’s still worth reporting it.
In addition, I will try to adopt Apple’s guidelines for bug reports, which go along the lines of Summary, Steps to Reproduce, Expected Results, Actual Results, Regression and Notes. Those subdivisions are a good idea for both the person who submits the report and for the person who will read the report, as they will encourage a more complete and structured exercise on both ends which will ultimately lead to faster bug fixing.

One last note before the report - I won’t be posting them on the main content section anymore, since they could be lengthy. Read on!
