Comment:

 I'm unsure why you think you would have understood 'Add' in the button
 text but ignored it in the right-click menu. If you've already passed over
 the information once seeing it again sounds unlikely to me to be of any
 help.

 We can't combine pounces into one because it is perfectly reasonable to
 have more than one pounce active for a buddy at a time. What happens if
 you have a normal pounce and want to add a one-time only pounce on
 something else? You can't do that with a single pounce without adding
 *incredible* complexity to the code and to the pounce addition interface.

 I believe there is a ticket filed for adding a 'Remove Buddy Pounce' item
 to the right-click menu of the buddy, but I don't think we have any plans
 to do that as we don't currently ever list the pounces for just a single
 buddy.

 It sounds to me like we can close this ticket as invalid as there
 certainly isn't any bug here, though a text change may be useful.
