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

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

That should be fixed with https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-system-log/commit/?id=a09f87bafc833d199cfd8364dff72b4c2e812af8
I've sent a debdiff to Debian, the package is in sync so it would be good if they could include it, bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=802326

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-system-log - 3.9.90-4
