I reported this bug as my very first one more than 10 years ago, and got some "education" about bug reports. See my comment #4. I never was again afflicted personally, and also the first time it was only in pursuit of a question in a forum. ... The only substantial comment since was #12 by Eike (who should actually know). As there weren't many users coming to this bug discussion and claiming urgency I wouldn't expect immediate action if you change the importance. But: Simply try. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
