Please Fix: AMD VISION Engine Control Center for ATI graphics cards Flashing Blinking Button glitch


UPDATE: I discovered a solution! See it here.
Youtube Screencast of the glitch and the solution: http://youtu.be/jXIA4KoGjHs
I found a hidden-away comment on Yahoo answers about this problem, and the commenter figured out that the problem was caused by having F.lux (Flux) running. The reason for this is that F.lux and AMD Vision Engine Control Center both try to manage a video setting that is part of Windows. This setting is locked to the application that modifies it, and the only way to change it is to release control over the setting by the application that is controlling it. Once it is released, another application can assume control over the setting.
I made a video screen recording of a glitch in AMD ATI VISION Engine Control Center software. The program becomes useless when this happens. The GUI controls in the software fail to change anything about the graphics. The buttons also flash alternatingly.
I've been looking for a place to report this bug to AMD ATI but I have found nothing helpful on AMD's Customer Care Email submission form. They require you to categorize your email, but it doesn't have the necessary categories for my bug report. ( http://emailcustomercare.amd.com/ )
I remember a few years ago I reported some bugs with the Catalyst driver to AMD ATI, but I don't remember where I did that.
