Comment:
#11666 is for tracking problems in a very specific case: things that
happen on some nightly builds, but not others, so the error appears and
disapears again as you update. Please don't include all "I updated Haiku
and it doesn't work now" tickets as blocking this.
The fact that these problems come and go accross revisions makes them
harder to track, and points to the issues being related to build-time
randomness. For example in the case of #11435, there is an actual bug (the
RTF translator trying to handle things it can't do), and the "randomness"
making it appear either before or after the StyledEdit translator in the
roster depending on how the package was created.
So, this ticket isn't "random things stop working for no apparent reason".
It's rather "bug that happens on some nightly build, disappears in the
next one, then comes back".
For #11708, there were recent changes to core system parts such as
BMessage. If these introduced a bug, it's likely to affect many
applications even though their code did not change.
For #11435, the issue is specific to ISO images, with anyboot working ok.
No one has seen it go away and reappear.
