Strange! So far, I haven't heard back from them about my submission.

Does one usually get some form of acknowledgement, or if it is truly a 
bug, you'll see the fix listed in the information about the update?

It would be nice if they at least let me know that they received the 
report, or perhaps I don't know where to look for those that are 
submitted and not processed or, as we used to say in my professional 
career, "WORKING AS CODED" (vs."WORKING AS DESIGNED").
