Annoying @appcelerator #Titanium bugs

• TIMOB-6300 - getLogicalDensityFactor not documented. Needed to support advanced positioning across all Android phones.
• TIMOB-2229 - animate does not change properties. WONTFIX. I understand that values that aren't numerical (pixels) can't be changed and have it behave sanely, but that's why CSS has getComputedStyle. None of my coworkers thinks the official behavior makes sense at all without something like getComputedStyle.
• TC-447 - Maybe I'm a documentation snob (RDocs kick ass), but Ti.Android.currentActivity should be listed as a property.
• TIMOB-1910 - There needs to be a removeAllChildren because iterating the view's children and remove()ing them does not work.
• TIMOB-1650 - items property of Toolbar undocumented. Fixed in 1.8, I guess 1.7 doesn't get a documentation backport? Again, I guess I'm used to every property and method being documented and those that aren't are strictly verboten.
• TIMOB-2663, TIMOB-2851 - opacity doesn't seem to function properly. Possibly fixed in 1.8, but again, 1.7 doesn't get a backport?
• TIMOB-2713 - exitOnClose nonfunctional.
• TIMOB-4614 - Ti.UI.orientation depreciated, though on Android there's no clear way to force an app's orientation to portrait/landscape as there is in iOS.
• TC-461 - Ti.UI.orientation on Android results in a crash.
• TIMOB-4779 - location event sucks on Android
• TIMOB-4759 - open on heavyweight windows cause crash if window was previously open (and other situations that might occur in my experience)
• TIMOB-1490, TIMOB-3139, TIMOB-3057 - Android focus and blur events don't work consistently.

Also, this doesn't qualify as a bug, but this is particularly annoying: QA article
