Bugzilla question

I'm not sure I'm doing this right.  I ran a report in Bugzilla with 
the intention of compiling a list of any bugs that are still pending, 
regardless of the version they were reported in.  In other words, a 
listing of outstanding bugs.  There are a total of 406 after 
narrowing it down for only Mac and Windows and a couple other 
limitations.

My question is as follows.  According to the list, some of the bugs 
were reported as early as 2003 and are still outstanding.  This seems 
a bit far fetched.  So I'm assuming it's user error -- my error in 
running the report, or my error in reading it, or something.

For example, bug 1413 relating to .png imported files was reported on 
3-23-04 if I'm reading it correctly, and is still marked as NEW, with 
a severity of MINOR, and a target date of ---.

The last comment made was in December 2004, Reassign.

So the bug appears to be unresolved.  I use .png's a LOT.  There will 
be thousands of them in my Project In Development.  So this one 
jumped out at me.  I had found them to be much easier to work with 
than .gif's.

I just want to verify that I did indeed run the report correctly, and 
that I am reading it correctly.  These are the choices that I 
highlighted:

Product:  Revolution
Status:  Pending, New, Assigned, Reopened
Severity:  All except Enhancement
OS:  Windows, Mac OSX

Can anyone verify that I am doing this correctly?

(I have not tried Revzilla yet... would have to start the Revolution 
30 day trial to use Revzilla.  Not ready to start a clock ticking :-)
