What surprises me most about this thread is the clear split between people that seem to feel the dev was perfectly within his rights, and the people that think he was rude. Nobody seems to be somewhere in the middle.
First of let me say that when it comes to Open Source I agree that if a bug bothers you, or a feature is missing, it is foremost our responsibility as developers to rather assist and implement it than file a bug report about it. The issues page is for users.
But sometimes, even us developers are just users, so we want to use software without having to write it first... and that's perfectly fine too. I can't be a contributor to every open source software package I use!  I would never be able to do anything for myself.
And that's the case with you Bill I think... in this case, you are just trying to be a user. And what happened is you got treated like a user by the developer.
As for the devs reply, I think the first part was perfectly polite and understandable. The second part is rather snarky though, and very dismissive. Perhaps it was just frustration at this issue being reported "again", or perhaps he is just an idiot.

Okay, here's the bug.
You can see a picture of it (wish I could post inline) here ==> : http://raddev.us/images/mswin10Bug.png[^]
Here's how you reproduce it:
1. right-click your task bar
2. float over Toolbars >
3. move down to [Desktop] menu item and click it
4. Desktop appears at bottom of toolbar.
5. click the little double down-arrow and sometimes the menu will not move above the taskbar.
Sometimes!!!
Yes, my taskbar is on the left side (not at the bottom). 
Hello, Satya. Are you there? Can I have $500USD now? I'm reporting this and I'm doing your QA team's work so...

You are kidding, right?
MS have a QA team?
You could have fooled me... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Will you pay your customers for finding bugs in your software? 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Absolutely - their payment is us fixing the bugs!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

If you don't, then lucky you. They are the worst.

If there weren't any customers, there wouldn't be any bugs.
Hey, maybe this is Microsoft's new marketing ploy!?!

Thats why they have so many preview builds, So they get reported for free.

Yes they just do heat mapping across the globe.
Microsoft Dev: "Oh, look we just released Win10 update to Europe and it's glowing red hot....Better put a fix in on those new functions."

64,763,985 people have reported the bug where daring to use the Save comdlg instantly crashes the program that you're trying to save from (kinda the worst possible time for a program to crash), so it's no wonder ms' profits are down.
And no, they haven't done a damned thing about it.

Right. I should've just changed my perspective and I would've instantly seen that it's a new font type.
The type you can't read because it's behind some other window.

bar.Color = Colors.Transparent;

Now we just need a catchy title for this new technology. We can always completely abandon it later and act like we've never heard of it.
Let's see...
ActiveX? Nah.
XNA? Nah.
SilverLight? Nah.
WinRT? nah.
Here's one I don't think is taken:
UWA -- I don't know. I think I'll abandon it soon.

Are any of those taken? I've never heard of any of them (or wish I hadn't)
