Thanks for mentioning this. :) I think bug hunts are great, but I need to ask this question: how does the current backlog of bugs factor in with these bug hunts? I understand the bug hunts are great for finding new bugs, but I've filed several bug reports, some of which have been stagnant for over six months. Here is an example: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57116 I'm excited about LibreOffice 4.3's release because the software keeps getting better and better. However, it's also a bit frustrating when reported issues exist for a long period of time. Thanks! Peace...
