I think it's tested once or twice by the developer, and that's it.
And chances are if you report a bug it won't be fixed. Look at this -
there are 2 and 3 year old bugs (in Thunar, a file manager) still
classified as NEW.

No, I can't imagine MS or Apple EVER releasing such haphazard dreck.
But, to be fair, that's the nature of hobbyware developed by unpaid,
untrained amateurs. It can't be any other way, when an entire world can
hack away and release their code under the GPL.

Most of the things I found recently in 14.04 LTS will never be fixed.
1. 'free driver' results in taskbar and launcher icons off the screen
2. apps open based on file extension
3. apps in Software Center not sorted alphabetically
4. restore vs drag-drop from Trash inconsistent
5. default font in XTerm very tiny
6. default is to spy on you by sending search terms and IP address
to Canonical and 3rd parties
7. some apps listed 2x or more in the 'Open With' list, and elsewhere
8. tries to open a text document with a CD/DVD burning app if you
choose Open With then Find Apps Online
9. old dpkg.log data shows even after partition formatting
10. log viewer menus don't match the documentation
11. Software Center lists free of cost software for purchase, and
you can't install them
12. log viewer menu disabled when run as root
#7 has been in various distros I've tried over the last 8-9 years.
Right now, my xfce start menu shows 4 entries for 'marble'.

The warm fuzzy is them playing pocket pool while downloading free code.
