Comment 15 for bug 880227

I'm giving up on reporting issues in Launchpad of packages included by Ubuntu. There's simply no point in doing so.

Like many issues, this one had a fix for a long time now and not a single attempt has been made to get it fixed in the current Ubuntu release. We should all just wait for half a year to get an insignificant code change to fix a highly annoying bug, after which we get presented with the next set of small but highly annoying bugs for yet another half a year.

Why provide a bug reporting facility if the end result is people leaving with the feeling to sod off and deal with it?

The amount of PPA's says enough: one can not depend on Ubuntu to get things done, you'd have to do it yourself.
