What is the definition of "Known issues" in patch notes of STO?
There are a lot of more (old) bugs and issues which are verified by a developer like crypticfrost or borticuscryptic but not listed under "Known issues".
For example:
There are also some other bugs mentioned in the forum like the Lag in UI, that are not verified and not listed.
So what is the meaning of "Known issues" and these list in the patch notes? And is there a complete list with known issues?

Known issues are bugs that are currently being worked on.
I believe that Taco once said that listing all bugs would make no difference. In fact, because they can only tackle a few per week, listing them and not being able to fix them in the short run will work to damage their reputation, while listing them serves no point really.
You can agree or disagree with that reasoning, but it is what was stated, and I would do the same.
Join the Deltas today!
Known issues are the ones they will try and fix. You know like faw which I believe only took them 3 or 4 patches to finally get right. Or our glorious load out issues that are still broken after half a dozen patches. Problems not on the list are here to stay...enjoy!

The above isn't even half of the threads made in the last year that stem from the fact that there is either a horrible problem with cryptic's character database index or they have some horrible issue with packet loss.
If known issues were listed and had dedicated threads then people could point at this issue and say; 'Why has nothing been done about an issue that has effected so many people for so long?'
But by not listing this as a known issue or creating a dedicated thread for it cryptic is able conceal its true extent and thus preserve their reputation as a company that; 'Always releases their products on schedule" rather then the company that; 'After 6 years of development on a game still hasn't managed to code a power tray.'
Its a big problem.
But the red alert bug is known by the devs and there is also a fix inbound: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?p=22003801#post22003801
Sorry, a bit off track, but i could help but think of this when i think of Cryptic and "known issues"

An exhaustive list would be... exhausting.
On the about 7 man project I am working on, we have a backlog of 700 issues*, and a bit more than half of them are bugs. There are certainly lots of bugs not in the backlog because they haven't been reported t us. But anyway, imagine trying to list 300 issues in every thread.
Cryptic's team is larger and the software is much more complex than the one I am working on...
*) issues can be feature requests or bugs.
