Ehsan fixed several contentEditable bugs for me to make the Google Spreadsheets formula bar and formula highlighting work in FireFox. I created those features in my 20% time and the initial release supported only Chrome and IE. He was the biggest help in making it work in FireFox.
Anyway, I wouldn't say this really has much to do with it being an open source project. I've had the same thing come up in many closed source projects I've worked on for big companies. Sometimes the code's very complex. Maybe you can fix the bug, but it would take 100 hours of learning the code to really figure out the correct solution that handles all the ins and outs and edge cases. That's a hard investment to justify quite often for a single bug unless it's a big one.
