1. Have a "diagnostic" mode that writes to a file somewhere to track bugs and crashes. They always use this excuse that your system is different than their test system, and they can't begin to understand why your system is unstable. Well, just like the "report this bug to apple" window, they can log internal system calls - when a user is in this mode, and have it track crashes, and then the user could send that file to Apple to help this correct things faster.

2. One annoying bug, is that EVERY DAY, when I start logic, it won't record audio until I go through some unnecessary steps (open the Audio prefs, change them, change them back, apply changes, voila its working again).

3. When I am working on a midi region in the arrange window, I click on a region to open the mini-matrix at the bottom, then decide to go to a full matrix window - but the matrix window is not the same region! Despite the link button being set.

4. In the matrix, if you have a cycle of say four bars, and the screen is zoomed to 5 bars, you often see bars 12, then the window skips to show 34 then skips to 12 - its annoying as hell, and this has been in Logic for years. I end up having to zoom out to 10 measures to stop the jittery bouncing.
