I have no problem with that.
I have problem that automated tests do not catch it to free programmers and brain.

You see in Pharo our process is stagged. If the tests to not run, the tests is not in. 
For example this year we did not integrate Epicea and marcus tried 15 times (for real 15 times) 
this is just that you did not see it. Now we break things because we do not have enough tests and UI/widgets is not covered.
