Revolution 2.8.1: a 240+ bug fixes/improvements! What about the remaining 1879?

[Luis]

I understand what you're saying, but my statement was concerned with  
the fact that it was your demo: Not knowing what the demo was I opted  
for the general view that this was reported by a standard user, who  
is often naive, which I judged from the 'bug report'.
Most naive users do not understand the 'bug reporting process' and  
many do not want to be educated because they see no benefit to it:  
They just want to play the game (or whatever the app is).

Cheers,

Luis.
