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

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The bug is quite old and the code changed since, also there has been no new report of that specific problem nor activity for some years so assuming it has been resolved and closing the ticket. If you still get issues in newer versions feel free to open a new report though.
