Is there any chance of increasing the importance of this bug?

This bug is the equivalent of BSOD (all your running apps have to be terminated), and it's happening to me multiple times a day. I can barely use LibreOffice at all, as it usually causes a freeze within a few minutes of use. It's happening 'randomly' at other times too.

Based on the criteria for "High" importance here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance

...I'd classify this as "severe impact" on a small portion of Ubuntu users, and it affects an "essential hardware component". I would say it also fits "Renders essential features or functionality of the application or dependencies broken or ineffective", as it means I basically can't scroll in any LibreOffice application. So I'd say it fulfils 2-3 of the criteria on that list, and only one is needed.

Thanks!
