It's getting worse: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6327.

Anyway, item 5 shouldn't be mandatory. The actual result is in item 3. 
And even item 4 is optional. The expected result is item 3 shouldn't happen.

There is actually this page:

    http://d.puremagic.com/issues/page.cgi?id=bug-writing.html

I believe no one had read this :)
