Are you saying that your native language isn't English? Because yours is
excellent for a non-native speaker.

Well, I have no idea about the windows-specific taskbar issues. But the
reporter seems to have 3 main problems -
1- he/she wants an mdi - too bad
2- he/she wants a save-all-open-documents command. - this might be useful
3- he/she claims to have found a bug, that as far as I can understand it
(which is not that far) is not real. - good for us.
