I wouldn't mind a page akin to {{Blooper}} (as I've mentioned, that's basically what a bug is already, only on a software level), but it would have to be more or less example-less because pretty much every piece of software has some kind of bugs (though not all are noticeable) and where do we draw the line between what is "notable" or not?  We ''can't'' just go listing every software bug ever that somebody knows about....

For example, IIRC in the PSX rerelease of FinalFantasy6 they misspelled "Fenrir" as "Fenris" at one point.  Do you know how [[GrammarNazi annoying]] that is?  But it's strictly cosmetic, doesn't affect gameplay in the slightest (unlike the [[GameBreakingBug infamous Sketch bug]] from the SNES original -- which was only game-breaking if it actually happened, otherwise you'd never encounter it).

Or a non-game example:  In the Windows versions of GIMP 2.8 there was a shearing bug where if you use the Spacebar to scroll the window around too fast, redraw events start firing faster than the program can actually process them.  This leads to massive graphical garbage and system lag, but when it's all cleared up it's actually quite harmless to the document content.
