Severity levels

[Nicklas Börjesson]

Not applications, issues.
My point is that user experience issues gets a lower severity than they should.
Let's take photoshop CS 4 with two old but relevant actual issues as an example. 
1. There is a problem with the text tool functionality, it did not work. Everything else works, though.
2. There are serious graphics problems, huge artifacts, the entire application is almost unworkable under Gnome.

With the current severity levels(without common sense), example 1 gets higher priority, which I think is wrong.

PS.
Yes I know the actual issue turned out to be a configuration thing. But that's not the point.

I'm curious what non-gui applications you're talking about in regards to wine.
