@Christopher: I wasn't suggesting it should stay open. I was just making a comment on how letting tickets stagnate until everyone gives up and stops commenting is one sure way to close tickets.

I don't actually use Ubuntu any more because my experience when I last did (and the reason I switched) was that this was just too routine. People file tickets and they just wait and wait until either everyone gives up that it will be fixed or it eventually gets fixed upstream... meanwhile people have to live (sometimes for a long time) with the bug. This ticket did after-all take 6 years from when it was opened to finally getting closed.

So you can go ahead and [re-]close if you like. I won't notice or care one way or the other. I just wish Ubuntu was better maintained is all and that the lack of decent maintenance didn't force me to switch distros.
