Can't say nothing about programs of today but I tried all best programs for mate
around 5 years ago. 50% of them did all kind of frequent mistakes, including one
that you indicated. In 25% of others you could see mistakes in only very rare
occasions but they still were there. I was impressed! I never expected this.
