Why did you comment on this bug?
Uhm, what do you think a bug report list is for?
Your issue is in bug 338785.
Thank you, I did not know that.
Please do not comment on old bugs unless you have something to add to
the existing bug.  If it's a new issue, please open a new bug report.
State the obvious, why don't you?  Are you an asshole in real life too?
Thanks.
You're welcome.
