You know what it is about bug fixes, if any of those happen to you, that is all that matters. Most of those bugs as well as memory issues do not happen to myself but I know quite a few that it does.
One bug I just found crashes the system (NOT that this is a normal thing) I had a unit that I removed but instead of rebuilding I executed immediately and Rad Studio hanged. Needed to do a FORCED stop process on RS XE7. This is not a normal situation but it may happen to you sometime in the future.
At times we consider giving away freebies to the developers reporting most bugs… but it will be easy to game the system. We should give a prize to those reporting the most relevant bugs and writing the best bug reports, but this is very subjective.
3 of my 7 QP issues addressed.
Thanks for sharing! 32 of my 59 issues NOT addressed.

I know I will not try it again.
Dirk Carstensen if we fixed 27 of your 59 issues, I’d be very happy
If I have purchased the XE7 in less than 5 months from now, is there a way to upgrade to XE8?
Still no fix for stl static objects linkage bug (which is there since CB6, at least)

Cannot count exactly, because Bugreporter status (QC/QP) is inconsistent, no feedback to reporter if bug is closed or not.

With that amount of bugs reported and fixed Dirk should get a free update. Just sayin’

Marco Cantù having reported bugs fixed is a reward on its own.
Seeing http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=119501 fixed would make me immensely happy 🙂
Well, it is impossible, because that one is not a bug… but a design decision. But I’m digressing already 😉
Marco Cantù One man’s bug is another man’s feature 😉
At the end of the day, what really matters is how it affects someones work, and not what it is.
I know that Java devs would kill for having 8-bit strings (UTF8) in Android.
