Every software has bugs, here are the two WordPress bugs I experienced and I think general WordPress users will experience the same bugs too.

WordPress 1.5 Trackback bug
Found that your WordPress’ trackback does not work, even it is newly installed? There is a minor bug in the wp-includes/functions.php.

Quickfix:
replace
$http_request .= “rn”;
with
$http_request .= “rnrn”;

Or, download updated functions.php and replace the existing one in /wp-includes.

Plugin option pages do not display
You installed some plugins which add plugin option page into WordPress admin > Options but when you click on the plugin option page, it display nothing, only see the WordPress logo(bottom of the page).

It is caused by a minor bug(again) in wp-admin/menu-header.php. Patch is available.

Or, download the updated menu-header.php and replace the existing one in /wp-admin.
