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

[Kevin Cole (kjcole)]

I *guess* it affects me: After clicking through a bunch of "do you want to report this?" "do you want to include this log?" "do you want to include that log?" questions, it came back and said "This bug has already been reported" and dropped me here...
