The trouble is that OpenCart is run by two guys (well, just one really), and if he doesn't experience the problem or he doesn't see it as important, it's not a priority to fix it.
An example of this was the old "image/logo doesn't show in email" chestnut. It only happened on certain email software. The problem was two-fold. One was that he'd misworded the encoding for the image, and the other was a missing extension (like .jpg). Some email software would cover for such faults, but others are more strict (presumably for security reasons).
The fixes were simple enough to implement but, because OpenCart's primary coder didn't use one of the effected email apps he didn't see the problem and so didn't fix it (his solution was to use the email app that he used!). It was up to others to fix it. Someone else had posted the fix for the first issue, but I couldn't find a fix for the second. So I trawled through the relevant files to see if I could find the problem and, once found & fixed, I posted it in a thread from someone else posting the same problem.
That's free software all over, I'm afraid. I had to do a similar thing with a module for ZenCart some years ago, too. You have to expect to fix issues yourself if you can't find the solution already posted. There's no guarantee that you wouldn't experience the same thing with paid-for software, but at least if you pay you have a right to gripe at them for bugs.
