== Submitting a bug ==
If a bug is worth asking /support or a developer about, it is worth submitting a bug report on. We are more than happy to close reports that are not really bugs, and would prefer you to submit a bug report and us close it, than not submit it and we never find out about it. Having said that, before submitting a bug you should scan over the previously posted bugs summaries so that you don't report an already known bug.
It there are multiple bugs to report, please open a report for each.
Submit a new report [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=1111&atid=101111 here], or browse the [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=1111&atid=101111 bugs tracker] which by default shows the currently open bugs.
