Some days ago I noticed someone (can't remember who) requesting for an issue/bug repository within the microsoft.com domain regarding the .NET Framework class library. Recognition would at least be a step in the right direction.

btw, get a blog Marcel ;)

Microsoft refusing to fix bugs, nah...
Just found another one today in Managed DirectX summer update,

Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Font: Calling DrawText with DrawTextFormat.CalculateRect doesn't return the computed rectangle to the caller since the Rectangle is passed by value, not as an [out] parameter.

I found this out through usenet though, there's not a single kb on it, except a vague remark on usenet from an ms employee....

This is a known issue.
