I don't see how we created another problem. We changed the default,
that's all. We thought the new default would be more suitable for more
users. Clearly not everyone will agree with the default - that's the
nature of defaults, and why the behaviour is configurable.

If you think that a different default would be better for Ubuntu, by all
means let's discuss that, as I described by suggesting a venue for that
discussion in the previous comment. But it doesn't follow that a default
not suitable in your particular situation is a problem in general.

If on the other hand the problem you're describing is not a matter of
the default configuration, then please file your own bug with specific
details.
