Comment 41 for bug 1650977

To address the fact that no one from the dev team acknowledged this bug, part of it is the fact that I was aware of this bug for quite some time (probably before it was originally reported,) and knew it would be fixed in this new release (at the time fixing it would have been a major code change, not something we feel comfortable doing close to release dates for Mint, and the fact that it hadn't been actually reported yet, we decided not to hold up a release for it.

Another problem is that this is Launchpad. This is my own personal opinion only, but launchpad sucks for tracking bug on individual packages, particularly core packages like Nemo. I probably was tangentially aware of this bug from it popping up in my inbox, but unless I go and address something that instant, it's too easy to forget about, and extremely easy to be unable to find it again here. (Again, these are just my particular difficulties and opinions - some people love it)

For future bugs with Nemo or the desktop, the 'official' bug tracker is on Github - https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo

For cinnamon itself (the rest of the visible desktop, panels, etc...,) it's https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues

Every unique individual package that makes up Cinnamon, or Mint (like mint drivers, mint installer, mint update) are also on github (https://github.com/linuxmint will show them all) and I suggest using them in the future.

We still use Launchpad because Mint used launchpad long before github was popular, and for some people it's all they know (and for generic distribution issues I suppose it's probably more appropriate)

Github isn't perfect, but it's far better for tracking issues specific to a package, at least for this old man.

Anyhow, glad to see confirmation that this bug is resolved (though don't be surprised to find new ones for the time being while we work through our release cycle)

I'm going to mark this fixed.

Thanks
