Comment 8 for bug 1838358

The issue seems quite serious, although the downside of it is that it only affects certain users on certain environments. Before accepting this into -proposed I'd like to know a bit more: you mentioned in the impact field that the bug is impacting users (or one user?) on VMware Horizon VDI, but then followed up that you can't reproduce it. Does it mean you can't reproduce it reliably on the same environment? Do we know how many people are actually affected by this bug?

I'm fine with leaving the verification of the bug to a certain set of actually affected users - as long as we can get solid feedback from them when using the -proposed packages.

I'm a bit reluctant to accept a upload fixing a bug that is not reliably reproducible and that I don't know how many actual users are affected by. Even in the case where the changes are hidden behind an environment variable. The change here seems solid, but any unneeded change like this can cause a regression, for instance if after some time the CHECK_APP_IN_CSV_ENV_VARIABLES macro turns out subtly buggy (highly improbable, but...), breaking otherwise unaffected users. Ibus is quite a core component.

Could you provide this information for me before we proceed?
