Comment 18 for bug 222458

I have also marked Bug #227705 as a duplicate of this bug as the patch supplied in this bug seems to deal with the same issue and has been patched more recently in Bug #799312.

Like I say, I'm not too sure if I should have marked this bug (222458) and 227705 as duplicates of 799312 - as it appears to have the more recent fix - but hopefully by marking these as duplicates it will raise the profile of issue a little higher to the dev team and perhaps they can integrate the most recent patch:

into the code base.
