:The #1 Bug in My ~14 Years of Linux
The #1 Bug in My ~14 Years of Linux
Jun 3, 2008, 20 :15 UTC (27 Talkback[s]) (7538 reads)

"I needed a break before writing about this with calm. Let's just say you drag a few files on the desktop, you drop them 100 pixels away... and they're gone forever!

"That was indeed the most outrageous system bug I had in my whole life. The worst bug in Linux ever. Worse than any bug I ever had in all the operating systems on Earth. Less understandable than anything that happened to me under Windows! (I won't count an MS-DOS situation where the 2nd FAT copy was empty, and Norton something 'corrected' the first FAT copy by nullifying it too...!)"
