What is a reasonable time to resolve an issue?

Today, I experienced a bug whilst building a wide screen definition in 2E.  The build was okay but when I went to use it (in the 2E device design editor), I was getting some low-level errors.

Upon googling the error, I came across this ticket which gave a few workarounds, one of which I implemented.

The given workarounds were:-

1. Set the screen footer to 25 as per the screen print. 
   
2. Set the subfile page size for consuming functions explicitly.  I am assuming they mean…
   
3. Override the YSFLEND model value to *PLUS and not *TEXT or override it in the consuming function via F7=Function Options
   
   
   
   

All of these appear to be perfectly good reasons to postpone fixing this issue up within the product as I am guessing...

• many use the + for subfile,  
• many also forget to move the command line down to row 26 anyhow when creating and generating wide screens (they leave it at 23) and then wonder why they have a 3 row gap at the bottom of their screens 😊

Is it okay though, that 15 years after it was raised, it is still an issue…..?
