Bug Description

This bug has been ongoing for months.

The most annoying part about it is the constant question to report it... it pops up at the most inconvenient times and wont stop until I agreed to send a report twice, after which I can select "Ignore future errors" or something like this.

I guess I'll just keep on reporting it, again and again and again and....
