Hello Lester Caine

Hope you are well.
Have you had time to apply your expert skillset looking at the ticket?
Your skillset turned out to be critical in fixing the subdomains, we
owe you many thanks for that, and truly hope you can continue your
work and look at the but report (bug#66371) which claims an error in
the typeahead javascript.
