I would like to point out that this remark towards a person that tried 
to help you is not constructive attitude either.

You have not purchased midPoint support service and therefore we are not 
expected to fix the bugs that you have discovered. We are not expected 
to spend as much as 5 seconds on that. My colleague was trying to 
provide at least some kind of feedback. It was more that his duty called 
for, both professionally and morally. There is no reason for such critique.

This is an open source project and nobody should expect that project 
developers should spend even those 5 minutes to try to reproduce your 
issue. If you want that kind of service, I would like to refer you to 
our commercial offering. Or, alternatively, you can fix the issue 
yourself, are contribute the fix together with a test. The project is 
open to quality contributions.

Open source communities are based on respect and reciprocity. If you 
want your 5 minutes then you should consider contributing something to 
the community first. That would be what I call "constructive attitude".
