If you entered it into Bugzilla, then it has been communicated. But in 
the case of Mac OS X and MC, it was a scripting issue in the IDE which 
probably affected all platforms equally. Because the same thing does not 
happen across platforms in the Rev IDE, that's why we suspect it is an 
engine issue. But if it is a simple scripting problem, the Rev team 
should be able to fix it fairly easily.

Your best bet is to make sure there is a report in Bugzilla, because 
that is the only way the team will know about it. They have been very 
good lately about keeping up with the reports, and at RevCon Kevin 
announced they had verified (or at least looked at) all existing bugs as 
of the morning of his talk.
