I was reading this thread on a 2.72 bug fixed in 3.0: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=34833.0
Is there a list somewhere of all such known bugs in 2.72? So that those who still use 2.72 (e.g. for Linux reasons) know to avoid them?
No, definately not. As AGS is an one-man's work, bugs are usually fixed when they are "spot-on". Too bad the tracker (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/tracker.php) isn't actively used anymore, otherwise you may still track down problems that exist in specific versions and when they are fixed.
Currently your best bet is to check CHANGES.TXT in DOCS document and see what are fixed in V3.0.0. You may also search for bug report threads, but that is no simple atsk.

You'd only find engine bugs in the documentation, as the editor was re-written. So bug report threads are your only bet on the editor, I suppose.
Well, editor bugs are less important since they would just be annoying and not affect the players of the game.
Gilbert's suggestion is the best option -- download AGS 3.0.2 and look in the CHANGES.TXT file to see everything that has been changed/fixed since 2.72. You'd have to filter out all the editor changes but it should be a complete list.
