This is the master issues list for FunHouse. This thread is maintained to aid FarSight in exterminating gameplay bugs, art issues, and sound problems from FH.
This thread is locked to keep it clean and focused on actual issues, as opposed to opinions about such issues. Report art issues in the Art forum, and all other issues in a new thread in this table's forum. I will add newly-reported issues to this thread at regular intervals. In addition, each bug has a link to the thread it was reported in; discussion of bugs should take place there.

GAMEPLAY ISSUES:
08-001: Ball sometimes travels through Superdog targets into pop bumpers
First reported: 15 May 2012
Description: A shot from the upper flipper to the Superdog targets sometimes phases through them and ends up in the bumpers.
Devices: Android
Status: Could not reproduce
08-002: Shots to Rudy's mouth may phase through head
First reported: 26 May 2012
Description: A shot to Rudy's mouth may phase through Rudy's head and land in Rudy's Hideout or the Hidden Hallway. Normal play continues.
Devices: All
Status: Confirmed, open as of 26 Mar 2013
08-003: Shots to Rudy's mouth may score points and cause ball to disappear
First reported: 26 May 2012
Description: The ball may get stuck in Rudy's mouth, score 250K, and disappear. Attempting to launch a ball at this point, even though the camera does not return to the camera lane, will fire a new ball to continue play.
Devices: Android, iOS
Status: Unknown
Notes: See also thread Rudy Hit/Gulp Turns into Plunger Launch.
08-004: Shots to Rudy's mouth may phase into Hidden Hallway lane when rebounding
First reported: 03 Jul 2012
Description: The ball may phase through to the Hidden Hallway after hitting Rudy's closed mouth.
Devices: Android, PS3, 360
Status: Confirmed, open as of 26 Mar 2013
08-005: "Light Extra Ball from Gangway" goal not awarded if an extra ball is already lit
First reported: 15 Jul 2012
Description: Lighting an extra ball from the Mystery Mirror and then lighting a second extra ball from the Gangway causes the game not to award the "Light Extra Ball from Gangway" goal. The table does award the two extra balls from two shots to the Hidden Hallway, so the issue is in the goal detection, not in the ROM.
Devices: 360
Status: Unknown
08-006: Ball drains from behind upper flipper
First reported: 27 Jul 2012
Description: A ball underneath the upper flipper as it is dropping can sometimes get pushed through the wall and down into the left outlane.
Devices: PS3
Status: Unknown
08-007: Ball disappears from table, resulting in unplayable game
First reported: 03 Jul 2012
Description: Whenever a ball goes into a scoop or kickout, there is a small chance that it will "vanish". If it does, the ball search cannot find it and Call Attendant cannot retrieve it. If balls are in the lock, they will be kicked out after a few ball searches and the player can use those, but eventually the table will reach a state where it thinks a ball is in play but there are no balls on the table. When this happens, the player cannot continue and must quit the table.
Devices: All
Status: Acknowledged as of 02 Aug 2012
Notes: See also extensive discussion at Funhouse. 464m...attendant not working.
08-008: Ramp shot with Crazy Steps open sometimes feeds inlane instead

First reported: 18 Aug 2012
Description: When Midnight Multiball starts, the ball Rudy spits back out sometimes heads straight for the left outlane.
Devices: All
Status: Not a bug. The real table CAN do this. Nudge accordingly.

First reported: 28 Jun 2012
Description: Executing a post transfer from the right flipper to the left is unusually difficult.

First reported: 26 Jun 2012
