The problems area is a list of problems that affect the current Git version. If a problem is fixed in the current Git version but is still in the current Release version, it should be moved to the bottom and the title of the problem crossed out (<nowiki><s>like this</s></nowiki>) crossed out, with a note in the problem on when and how it was fixed if that info is known. Each problem is listed on its own without grouping, to make it easier to deal with. Problems are generally ordered with the most severe ones first, such as crashing or hanging bugs, then going to down to the least severe. Fixed problems are at the bottom.
