I'm another Thunderbird user, who assumed its bugs will never get fixed and will jump to a better alternative when I see it.
I fully sympathize with that Richard guy, and share his discontent at this serious issue happening in too many open source projects: the "community before quality" meme. Some people just don't understand that without quality the project will just die. Slowly but surely. Some other people seem to just want to see their name in the credits, even if they essentially screw the project in the process. Screw them, if that's what they think.
Did anybody notice that the bug had been clinging there for +15 months and it had 12 duplicates submitted by users and there were being ignored???
Also, as an experienced developer I can't figure a reasonable justification to the injection of such bug in the first place, specially when a beta-tester reported it in due time. Breaking the behavior of Ctrl-F is an awesomely visible and annoying bug!!!
Regarding the insults, well, when you know that nothing will be done to improve things and you are essentially wasting your time there, you don't f*ing care about being banned.
