Not only developers, but I think most people using computers.
It feels like people have a tunnel vision focusing only on the parts of the screen they're accostumed to. The other parts are ignored.
They try something, fail, try the same thing again, fail again, and repeat until they either give up or decide to slow down and explore the corners of the screen (which often leads to them finding the error).
I wonder if this is somehow related to the "magical halo" of technology. First because they try the same thing expecting different results, second because they don't explore the unknown parts of the system (maybe for fear they'll make things worse?).
