In the contrary, there is an excellent response from the Microsoft team
to these inputs from users. Please remember that WPF is a brand new
technology, released in November 2006, and that you must count with
childhood problems.

Hi Laurent,

Thanks for your reply. I am glad to hear that the WPF team is on top
of things. However I have filed about 10 bug reports in the past,
mostly about VS2005. I have not yet seen a single one resolved. They
are usually dismissed as 'won't fix' or 'by design' (It's not a bug,
it's a feature?).

Some of the reported bugs were easy to reproduce, and were
subsequently reported by others--with similar dismissals.

So it probably depends on which team is handling fixes. I do hope MS
changes their policy though. After the frustration, I have stopped
filing bug reports. I just try to avoid the trouble spots. I suspect
that other developers have arrived at the same conclusion. I can't see
how that helps Microsoft in the long run.
