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

I have just raised Bug #1527495 which was initially suggested as a possible duplicate of this bug and Bug #1235177. Now that apport has done its thing my new bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug #1279108 which could suggest that this bug is also a duplicate of that one.

[Thomas A. F. Thorne (tafthorne)]

So I have tripped over the same problem again, but this time only Bug #1195662 and Bug #1235177 were offered as suggestions. Bug #1527495 that I raised a while ago was not seen as a likely similarity.

It seems that I am able to periodically reproduce a problem, whether it is one of the three bugs listed above or the possibly mythical bug #1279108 I cannot say. However if there are any investigative steps I can take or work arounds to try please do get in touch.

Seen again today.
