The Quickdraw bug in ellipses you mentioned isn't the only one: long skinny
ellipses have points missing.  Also, the 45-degree portions of circles are
like

     x x                                x 
       x x          rather than           x
         x x                                x

which some might consider a bug, others a feature.

Is there any way to print the Notepad?  I haven't found one (short of
putting it in a MacWrite document...)  Sure would be nice, e.g. so I don't
have to lug my Mac with me to the grocery store.  Should use draft mode.

Also, selection extension (with shift-click) works differently in MacWrite
and Notepad; in particular shift-clicks before the beginning of the original
selection point behave differently.  Consider a line   a....b....c.  Click at
b, shift-click c, selection is from b to c.  Now shift-click a; in MacWrite,
selection is from a to b; in Notepad from a to c.  Tsk-tsk.
