mross,
In the early days of "glass", two new standard phrases were added to general flight deck use:
1) What's it doing to us now? and;
2) I've never seen that one before!
They are still in general day to day use, even after twenty five years plus.
Every time there is a new software load, there is an opportunity for new idiosyncrasies.
Remember, the software is only written by humans --- think of the flight deck crew as the final quality control gate for the software.
Pilots are going to be around for a very long times.
