I've said it before and I'll say it again... bug reporting needs to be 
integrated into the IDE.

That way, when someone notices something like this, they can report it with 
virtually no interuption, and, further REAL could add more information to the 
report, since you can capture as much "state" as makes sense. (You have access 
to the internals, we do not). I relaize there wouldn't be much in this case, 
but in others it would probably help a lot.

Another example of this is the assertions. You'd get a lot more information if 
you'd make it possible to report them directly.

Sure, you may not get all the reports because RB is off into the hinterlands, 
and it may be far enough from reality that it can't send the report, but you'll 
get more of them than you do now.

(Please don't misunderstand, things are much improved wih the new database, but 
I think the focus is wrong. I think there's too much human effort involved.)

'best,

d.
