Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hello, 15.10 has gone EOL now. mysql-5.6 has also been removed (in 16.04) in favor of mysql-5.7. Are you able to reproduce this with a current, supported release?

[Expired for mysql-5.6 (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]
