Here are many bugs that have been marked invalid in hundredpapercuts 
just in the last week:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bugs?field.searchtext=&orderby=-importance&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=INVALID&assignee_option=any&field.assignee=&field.bug_reporter=&field.bug_supervisor=&field.bug_commenter=&field.subscriber=&field.omit_dupes.used=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_patch.used=&field.has_cve.used=&field.tag=&field.tags_combinator=ANY

Many of these are great usability enhancements, but they are also 
feature requests so they do not qualify as paper cuts. If you see a 
great feature request in here that you believe would improve usability 
in Ubuntu, tag the bug "feature-request" and we can continue to track 
these suggestions.
