Well it's like this analogy:
Person A says "The ice is too thin because when people skate on it, they sink through."
status -> incomplete, priority -> low
Person B says "Do the ducks sink through?"
Person A says "No, but it's still to thin."
Person B says "Well if the ducks don't sink through then it's not to thin."
status -> bogus
Actually from many bug reports I've read after searching for solutions, this frequent recurring pattern of lets stick our heads in the dirt and pretend there are no bugs that made be very hesitant to file the bug report in the first place. I overcame the hesitance by feeling obliged to report it so that Ubuntu/Linux can be made a better OS. I now regret the wasted effort on my part. Linux will never ever become a mainstream desktop OS this way. Even if this was the only bug in Linux, it is enough in itself to not let it become mainstream as a desktop OS.
No offence and I also know I can't expect much from volunteers. I give up and I suppose I'm not the only one who feels this way.
