How Big Must a Bug Be

I posted an entry about a strange bug in SQL Server Management Studio, pointed out by Plip, but something that I believe I have seen and groused about.

Plip's post has garnered a fair number of angry posts about the fact that the bug (related to the size of an nvarchar column getting reset by the tool while entering a new column) was not worth posting. How big a bug is worth posting?

Of course, this one is trivial to work around, if you are paying attention, and if you are not I expect you will discover the size change pretty quickly.
