Comment 364 for bug 1268257

No, this is *not* fixed for 331 and 331-updates; in fact, nothing has changed. The "fix released" status presumably was set by yet another inattentive user who landed onto this Launchpad page after getting a whoopsie error. Unfortunately, the status cannot easily be reverted to "triaged" because of what I feel is a shortcoming in Launchpad.

There is some good news, though: Alberto Milone over at lp:1431753 (which describes the actual *source* of the problem) hinted at intending to provide a fix for 14.04. Unfortunately, he hasn't provided any updates, details or time frame in the last 3 weeks. So, those of you who have not become completely embittered by Canonical's unforgivable lack of attention to this atrocious bug in their "Less Than Stellar" (LTS) line, PLEASE head over to lp:1431753 and politely draw their attention to the fact that a massive number of users are very badly affected.
