The Debian GNOME team is quite small and is responsible for a large number of packages with a large number of bugs so we're simply not able to fix every bug that is reported. I have helped improve things somewhat by closing bugs that are old and don't appear to apply to current supported Debian releases with a note that people could open a new bug if someone can still reproduce the issue. Now that you've verified that you can't reproduce the issue, it would only be extra clutter for the bug to remain open. Unfortunately, some bugs like the one you reported here may be fairly complicated to resolve since the issue may be a hardware issue (needs fixed in the kernel or in mesa or similar) or a bug in lower-level software. It can be difficult to find someone or a group of people to isolate the issue, create a fix, and then get the fix into a Debian package, especially for those using Debian Stable. I don't have helpful advice for this kind of issue. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
