Guess you've never been involved in software development, right? Fixing one bug can introduce other bugs...bugs not seen before nor expected. That's what happened here. And, it wasn't just Lightroom that got hit with this bug, it also was introduced in Camera Raw 8.1. So, it wasn't really a LR bug it was a LR/ACR raw processing pipeline bug that got introduced in the last several builds that sadly, none of the internal testers caught. ....end Quote

This a good example of a bug/regression which can and should be found by a computer test program and not by a human tester.....end Quote

.......as a SW Quality Auditor for DOD Systems I am required by law and contract to "find and fix"...or suffer the consequences. I am required to actually test the product in several ways, full stress, operational environment, and of course constant regression testing.....but Bottom Line is always the same: It Must Work First Time Every Time To Protect The Nation....they even spend tax-payer dollars to make big signs saying that and we have to post them around the labs....but then we do also have folks Committed to Excellence.
I realize that "Schewe" has a special commercial relationship throughout the industry resulting in his acceptance and defense of problems like this....but realistically the Customer has a right and the developer has an obligation to produce a usable product. Any notion of "must get it out the door" is just a fraud on the public.
"Get it right before you ship" ought...OUGHT be the minimum acceptable standard. Of course the Customer is responsible for "voting with their $$" to enforce this notion; but in this case there are few applications as powerful as the Adobe offerings which does give them the ability to slack off occasionally.
