Agreed, that's why I said "I can accept *subtle* bugs".  But I don't think this
issue was raised due to subtle bugs.  I just get the impression that they've not
done enough GUI testing.

When I bought Junior6 I couldn't even use the "Full Analysis" functionality
without installing a service pack.  Would you release software of such quality?
