WTF?!?!

First the bug is closed less than a month after the most recent comment, despite lots of people commenting previously about how much this bug is affecting them and then somebody further posts about it and the response is to open a new bug? What purpose does that serve given that (a) all of the experience and supporting evidence about this issue is in this bug as well as all of the subscribers who are having the same problem. All of those subscribers will lose the trail when a new bug is opened about the *EXACT* same issue as is being covered here.

Given that I am experiencing this still, here on Lucid, 10.04.1, right on the verge of Maverick being released, THIS BUG NEEDS TO BE REOPENED, not have it's activity migrated to a new bug.
