do know if they already aware of issue

Obviosuly thousands of bug reports are flled out, so its impossible to know exactly which ones they are aware of. But I am hesitant to spend a lot of time testing a feature witch I think is very buggy, because they are probably already aware of the issue (it seems obvious to me).
The issue is all the problems with a dual screen set up, using a laptop. If you dont know, closing the lid (even if it is set to do nothing) disables the additional monitor, then when you re-open it a lot of differnt things could happen (this is where the testing would be needed) but for the most part the graphics settings need to all be changed back to what they were.
I know that I could just test it, and bug all my findings. But is it worth my time? Again I ask this only becuase of the amount of time it would take to find all the bugs with it, and because there is a good chance its a known issue.

Don't worry about it. The bug reports are all triaged (at least the ones submitted through the Microsoft Beta Client) and prioritized. Large numbers of reports of the same bug lend weight to its gravity and apparent impact. The triage meetings involve give and take with team members advocating on behalf of various of the users' pain points. The chances are you will strengthen someone's arguments in these meetings.
You could also take the position that there was no point in looking at Vista just because a couple of million other people did too.

And, I know the odds are small, but what if you find a bug nobody else does? I mean, it's not a moral obligation or anything, but hey, maybe something I find helps you. Besides, there's a rumor that whoever finds the most gets ice cream!
