Thanks for your feedback.

Hum, do we keep a report open based on « maybe » or « we don’t know » or
« I suppose »?  It is an honest question and not a rhetoric one. :-)

Well, how is this bug report actionable?  Other said, what is missing as
concrete information for closing.

From my understanding of your feedback, the current answer to « Is it
still an issue? » seems « no ».  It does not mean that a bug is not
around – so many bugs are around ;-) – but it means that this bug is not
a blocking issue, again from my understanding.

Could you confirm that the bug is appearing for you?  Else, let close it
and reopen once the bug appears.  WDYT?


Cheers,
simon
