That's pretty much why I stopped filing bug reports or issues with almost all FOSS. Too many devs are like that -- too busy being right to listen (and more interested in clearing the bug report than in fixing it). And I say that as someone who retired early because his work as a developer/programmer did what it needed to and made his clients happy and someone who has contributed code to FOSS projects and released some of his own FOSS projects.
