Canonical is not Ubuntu, even if Canonical is spending quite some resources improving Ubuntu. Canonical is selling support though so if you really need to see that issue resolved you might want consider talking to them about buying support

Keep the trolls for another place thanks

Right, it means it needs debugging from somebody who has a clue about this stack, launchpad might not best the best place, as said Ubuntu is distrubuting this code, not writting it

What is revelant to Canonical doesn't really matter here. Ubuntu is its own project, any Ubuntu member, upstream or community member can be fixing this bug, it's not because Canonical is a big contributor that it's the only one. The issue is also not a priority one but a resources,work ratio one
