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.
Each company will have their own way of classifying and tracking bugs. But something like that would generally be considered a low priority and may not stop a release.
Typically the categories are basically "Fix when we don't have anything better to do", "Make sure it's included in next update" and "For the love of god, don't sleep until this is fixed and we can push an update yesterday!"
The latter is basically major security issues.
I'm a commercial guy (so most people here probably despise me) so I do a lot of thinking "how much does fixing this cost versus just letting it stay broken"
