I wish they'd just fix the bug where typing "~" crashes Terminal.app (depending on your keyboard language) :(

This also happens in the address bar of Chrome. Great fun.

Maybe I should, but 10.8's Terminal.app seemed to have everything I need (well, except for the crash reporter ruining my work every time I forget and type ~)

How did this bug survive the testing process?
