I don’t know if anything can be done with this now, since the tech wrote  
it up as a defect and closed the SR today. Yes, it’s a defect - and it  
needs to be fixed! (Okay, part of my wish to rant is that the tech’s  
tone was really condescending and he clearly didn’t want to make the  
software work for me, but insisted that I change my users’ behavior to  
comply with the software’s limitations and idiosyncrasies.) Please  
advise me if anything further can be done.

That’s as far as the Services Department can go with it. I see an  
engineering bug is opened on it and marked “High” priority. It’s in  
their hands now. I was told that the issue came up in this week’s core  
team meeting so it is getting attention. I hope it will get in the work  
queue with an appropriate priority and be quickly fixed.

As for the tech being condescending…let me personally apologize on  
behalf of Micro Focus for that. That should never happen. I’m so  
sorry it did. I’m going to bundle up your comments here and ship them  
off to the tech and his manager. Hopefully that will precipitate some  
changes in customer interaction on his part. Again…sorry about that!

- Kim
