Comment 20 for bug 1170958

The Ubuntu Desktop is a very very large project with many millions of lines of code. From time to time a change to fix a bug will introduce altered functionality or even another bug that slips through the rigorous testing processes that we subject all of our software to, so once in a while such bugs get released unnoticed. This is true for all software projects.

The fact is this particular problem has been fixed in the code, and is propagating into Ubuntu following the normal well-documented processes established to ensure a high quality product and the best experience for all involved. These rules will not be bent or disregarded. Any discussion of these processes is not germane to the resolution of this bug.

The kind of bitter vitriol recently being expressed as comments related to this bug are neither constructive to solving the problem described nor contributing positively to anybody's experience, and are best kept to weblogs, informal chats, ranting emails, and other venues more appropriate to that discussions of that nature. Please keep such comments there.
