No, you didn't. What you did is pulling the issue that you reported in 654189 and got handled through that by upstream already into this very bugreport as a duplicate, after it was shown to you that this original bugreport is a wontfix because it works as designed and documented. > Unfortunately the maintainer closed the bug report without trying to > analyze the issue first.

If you consider that incomplete, please continue there and do not sidetrack other bugreports, even if they were filed by yourself. I am close to /dev/nulling mails from you because you don't make any sense to me.
