I mean, it's a really easy issue to work around (if occasionally time consuming), most people who use the software are familiar with the issue, it's not enough to make me want to change CAD package given the massive sunk costs one rapidly accumulates using a particular package...I guess there's no real incentive for the software guys to devote time to fixing this when they could be working on new features or whatever. In a better world, I'd love for bug fixing, or even just polishing workflows for existing features, to be as high of a priority for CAD companies as new feature. However, only one of those things is seen as growing the install base...
