You're welcome, but it almost seems better to me that you file an original bug report without reference to the duplicate. The Apple folks are more likely to evaluate your report on its own, rather than simply thinking to themselves "Oh, this is already known to be a duplicate. Set its status as such and stop reading." Perhaps, on considering your specific report, they might not deem it an exact duplicate for some reason. Given the relative vagueness of our discussion here, maybe we're talking about two separate but related things. Even if they do determine it's a duplicate, they had to spend more time considering the issue before deciding that, so I suspect it accumulates additional "weight" in their consciousness. That is, your vote will count for more. But that's all speculation about other people's psychology, so not worth much.
