For the record: LP is not allowing me to link the upstream bug, its returning timeouts so i'll try again in a few minutes, if someone else can also try to link it that'd be great, thanks.

I have linked the upstream report for you pedro,

The bug hasn't seen any activity in years and there has been no recent similar reports, the code also changed quite a lot since and it's likely the issue doesn't exist anymore. Closing, feel free to open a new report if you still get problems in recent Ubuntu versions
