@e13:

I don't know what Ubuntu "official view" is on this issue. I know that people are trying to reproduce this bug and determine how to fix it, and bitching about it not being fixed is not constructive. I duly note, my responses to you and Michael Brooks are not helping them either.

The wonderful thing about free/open source software projects is you have the freedom to choose something else. The other side of that coin is, it's not reasonable for you to stomp your feet and demand solutions. The people participating here are largely volunteers and community members at large.

You want support? I believe Canonical provides it, for a price. Maybe that will get your issues resolved faster. How much did you pay? Coming here saying it's a shitty distro and saying that the bugs shouldn't be there doesn't get closer to a solution, it's a distraction.

Guess what, bugs "shouldn't happen" but they do. Bugs are notoriously difficult to reproduce and correct. Bitching about them doesn't get to a solution. Unsatisfied with the speed at which this bug is being addressed? Roll up your sleeves and start debugging. Otherwise, STFU.

For those aware that I'm probably just feeding the trolls, I apologize. I realize this is a bug report, not a place for grandstanding. I'll now go back to lurking and providing diagnostic output on request. :)
