Hey everyone... What kind of ADC access do I need to file a bug report?

I use the Dev. Tools Apr. 2002 Beta, and I have an odd bug, which I want to see if it was reported or not...
But when I go to the login page for the bug report it says I dont have access... (If I have access to get the Beta, why Wouldn't I have access to report bugs?)

Anyhow, here's my bug:

I have Comments and Constant strings (@"") setup to change the colors/fonts.
Whenever I start a multi-line comment or a const string (/* or @" ) when PB changes the font, EVERYTHING below that gets garbled and FUBAR'd.

<img src="http://www.condemned.net/~karl/imgs/pbbug1.jpg" alt=" - " />
<img src="http://www.condemned.net/~karl/imgs/pbbug2.jpg" alt=" - " />
<img src="http://www.condemned.net/~karl/imgs/pbbug3.jpg" alt=" - " />

When I end the comment or close the quotes, everything returns to normal...
But its kinda hard commenting out blocks of code when you can't tell where to end it anymore

Has anyone else noticed this? I searched Apple's projectbuilder list and came up with nothing, And i didn't notice this with the older PB releases (never really tried the older ones)

I believe even ADC Online (free) members have access to <a href="http://bugreport.apple.com" target="_blank">http://bugreport.apple.com</a>. But also, the PB Release Notes doc mentions that you should send feedback to <a href="mailto:macosx-tools-feedback@apple.com" target="_blank">macosx-tools-feedback@apple.com</a>.

You may not have access by default. See <a href="http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter" target="_blank">http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter</a> for more info.

I'd be surprised if they considered this a bug. It seems to me to be reasonable behavior.

If you have trouble commenting out blocks of text because of this, put the closing comment marker */ before (that is, temporally prior to) the opening one.

I expect it to change the font and color to that of my comment or string settings, and then fix it up when I close it; but dont change the characters that badly...

in some cases to get my regular looking code back i have to switch source files (easy enough, but still a pain)

I missed the part about the font. You're right, that looks pretty buggy.
