That's a good tip -- thanks for posting that.

As far as choosing Bugzilla, it's one of the leading bug-tracking 
systems and the price is unbeatable:  free (as in both beer and speech). 
  It's not easy finding something at that price with equivalent features.

Yes, Bugzilla has some rough edges and yes, Apple has some weird merde 
going on with Safari (I switched to Mozilla last year and never looked 
back -- thank you Jacque for the recommendation).

You can help see these issues corrected by reporting them to those who 
can address them -

    Bugzilla:
    <http://www.bugzilla.org/developers/reporting_bugs.html>

    Safari:
    Select "Report Bugs to Apple..." from the "Safari" menu.

If you would like to contribute directly to Bugzilla's evolution there 
are many opportunities for lending a hand -- not just programming, but 
also with documentation and testing:
<http://www.bugzilla.org/developers/how_to_help.html>

I agree they could use some help in the UI department and if I wasn't 
already committed to other open source projects I'd volunteer to help 
document either Bugzilla or Mozilla, but alas my landlord expects me to 
give priority to client work (as soon as we get open source housing and 
open source groceries I'll happy devote all of my time to open source 
software). :)
