 I'm changing it back to major, just to make a point (I agree with arma).
 You seem to poo-poo this issue, and even try to make a point that it
 shouldn't be fixed(!), but it's a  MAJOR issue to people that use TBB,
 even if it's not a big deal to you.''''' And it's more than minimize, the
 bookmark features are mostly useless, as are the SSL window and the add-on
 window, e.g., if I wanted to check the cert info, or if I wanted to add
 BetterPrivacy to Windows TBB.'''''

 This issue scares a lot of TBB users, and rightly so, it's quite egregious
 and noticeable. What do you expect non-computer savvy people to think? I
 for one wouldn't use TBB in it's current state if I didn't know what's
 going on with this issue...

 I will donate money to get this fixed, and keep it a major issue,if that
 would help hire a Windows dev (if s/he is needed), even if for just this
 single issue. I'm not sure how much it would cost, but I could send in
 ~>$500 next week, if that would help; even though that's not a lot of
 money, it is to me, I'm not rich, but I fully understand how important it
 is to get this bug fixed. I think some at Tor don't focus enough on the
 useability of the software; that is, some Tor devs see the trees but not
 the forest...
