You can look on github and see if they are known:

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues?q=is%3Aopen

Or chat in the Bitcoin dev irc channel. 

Even list them here as a start.

Thanks for the heads up.

Curious what bugs you're seeing?  I've used the qt client quite a bit on GNU/Linux and I haven't had any troubles.  Again, just curious.

I'm on OSX.  Using the latest 5K iMac loaded with the latest version of OS X.

I see two issues right off the back:

1) Clicking the Bitcoin-Qt icon from the dock doesn't load up the windows. Instead I need to right click and click Show / Hide to get it to pop up.
2) Other than the overview icon, the other 3 (send, receive, txns) are pixelated and not optimized for the retina (hiDPI) display. Nor are the icons in the recent transactions list. And the checkmark in the transaction list row. Pretty much everything isn't optimized for hiDPI displays other than the overview home icon. Kind of disappointing because it's such a simple fix and it would prepare it for future displays. I'd like to help provide cool looking icons that are hiDPI ready.

I'm sure everyone would love the hiDPI icons! 

As far as #1 goes, that could be a Qt issue.  Not sure, but the github tracking is one way to see if it is on the radar.  ;-)

Aha, yes, on (1), as many of us know, the OSX has it's "special" way of window management.  So, while you're right it should be fixed, it's not terribly surprising.  On (2), very cool!

Thanks for letting me know.

1) Strange, I've been running the QT wallet without issue on OS X for over a year.  I click on the dock icon and it shows up just fine.  I'm on 10.10.2 latest updates on an rMBP 15" from late 2013, currently running Core 0.10.0.
2) Hi-res icons would be nice.
