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

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

(there is a similar report on similar bug on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=870661 which indicates the issue is not distro specific)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

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
