As you may know, I absolutely live to submit crash and bug reports to vendors.
Normally, these reports are staid affairs involving copious amounts of detail, exquisite reproduction steps, and both expected and actual results. I’m sure that these kinds of reports get a certain amount of attention from software developers. I say that with confidence because at least one person in that position has told me my bug reports are his favorite. Sure, it was a few years ago now, but I’m sure I’ve still got some mojo.
Occasionally, I get the opportunity to take some creative license with these submissions. For example, there was that one involving the hockey game. The standard was raised after I saw my current all-time favorite crash report.
So, when I had a particularly frustrating crash in Safari, I decided I needed to raise my game. After all, I’ve probably submitted 33 boring crash reports on Safari already. Here’s what I came up with this time:
For those of you reading with Lynx, the text of the submission was:
Safari was launched by me. It had tabs. The set of tabs evolved. They were created to help me. There were so many of them there may have been copies. And I had a plan for them.
I hope someone enjoyed this crash report. And, for all I know, they fixed the problem in Safari 5.0.3.
