Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 10.10 reached EOL on April 10, 2012.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

I've tried recreating this bug with Ubuntu 12.10 and was unable to, given the information you've provided. Please upgrade to the latest version and re-test. If the bug is still reproducible, increase the verbosity of the steps to recreate it so we can try again.

Do feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Regardless of the package this affects, the status is still incomplete, as we still need a confirmation that this still exists on a more up-to-date version.
