There was a very old ticket that was closed recently when a component was re-written in Rust. I can't find a link right this second, but if you could have told the future, it's kinda amusing. "Sorry, we'll fix this, but first we have to invent a new programming language. We'll get back to you in a decade."

Frankly, I think it's pretty amazing that bugs this old end up getting fixed. Not many projects live even live that long, let alone keep up their infrastructure...

Our internal dev team has changed their feedback/requirements system 3 times in the last few years.

Motion without moving...

I once fixed a bug in Kolf (the KDE mini-golf game) which was about the ball glitching through walls if you hit them in the right angle. The patch that fixed the issue was rather huge, since I ripped out the home-grown collision detection and replaced it with a standard 2D physics library.

Sadly, my patch broke some custom levels which relied on the glitch. https://xkcd.com/1172/ is more true than you'd expect.

I remember the time when I never came across anything on the Internet that was older than 3 years

That would be the first three years of the Internet.

I'm pretty sure it was after 1972 :P

You have no idea

Wow, that predates OS X.

Yup.

> Does this bug affect OS X? If not, it should be WONTFIX.
