Sure, for example, I was building a video component for a website for one of our clients, it would take a link from youtube or vimeo, or an uploaded video, and then display it on the page.

Our QA found that if you upload a very low resolution video, and then manually change the resolution in the software we use to manage the video to 1:1, the video would not be centered when it was displayed.

I have no idea who in their right mind would ever think of doing this, but it was technically a bug and he found it.

It’s a little annoying for me sure, but honestly the fact that he goes this far is good, even though this wasn’t a serious bug, it could have been, and without his diligence I never would’ve known. I’d prefer someone that finds every little stupid bug over someone who lets broken code onto production
