Everything not strictly bug related (factual and possible bugs) is being discussed in this thread over a cup of tea - sometimes even with a hint of humor.
Btw. installed options are still being kept after updating to the latest firmware.
Cheers,

P.S. Please let me know if I should include more summarizing/general info regarding the scope in the opening post.

Was this to me? I didn't understood! Do you want to know the scope I own so that you add it to the 1st post, is that it?

Sort of... I try to maintain the opening post as comprehensive and self explanatory as possible so that general discussions can take place in the thread mentioned before and bug related discussion has a dedicated space here. I am open to suggestions for making that more clear in the OP.
PeLa:
I am surprised that I could not find any reference to the following bug in the list yet:
When setting the number of averages using :ACQuire:AVERages <int>
and setting acquisition mode to :ACQuire:TYPE AVERages and :RUN the scope,
there is no way to find out how many averages have been acquired.
So if I want to acquire a certain number of averages of an event that only occurs every now and then, I have no way to find out via a query sent to the scope.
The closest I can get to finding out whether an acquisition of a certain number of averages has finished is to look at the number of counts displayed on the screen by enabling any statistics item in diff mode. This can be done by sending the following command sequence prior to starting the acquisition with :RUN
:STOP
:MEASure:STATistic:MODE DIFF
:MEASure:STATistic:ITEM VPP,CHANNEL1
:MEASure:STATistic:DISPlay 1
:MEASure:STATistic:RESet
:RUN
As soon as triggers come in the "cnt" will be displayed in the statistics on the screen. However this value cannot be read. The only valid commands to read statistic items are MAXimum|MINimum|CURRent|AVERages|DEViation. No counts. |O
I have interfaced HP/Agilent/Keysight and Tektronix scopes before in my day job. - I never came across a scope that wouldn't tell you how many averages it has acquired (Tektronix) or if the acquisition of a certain number of averages is complete (HP/Agilent/Keysight)
00.04.04.03.02 software

I am not. ;)
I won't call it an arcane usage scenario, but is is certainly not a common one. And while I agree that it would be nice if there were a command to poll the number of averages taken, I don't think the lack of it qualifies as a bug, since the documentation doesn't promise such functionality anywhere.
