Comment 30 for bug 414181

I continue to see this problem under 12.04, however the workaround has become a learned behavior. It's only because I sometimes fail to remember to press the check button that I continue to see the bug. It's been three years since 9.04. Another year or so and I'll be so well trained that I won't even notice that the bug ever gets fixed. (Sorry if that comes off as snide, but I'm trying to find the humor in the situation.)
