I'm sorry, but the machine on which this behavior occurs is my main production workstation, and I'm reluctant to upgrade it, given that the last time I tried to upgrade an Ubuntu system from 8.04 to 8.10 the upgrade process crashed, and the bug report filed with launchpad for this crash was ignored. In fact, this seems to be the standard pattern for most of the Ubuntu bugs I have taken the time to file. Nothing happens after I file a report until a long time has passed, at which point I get a message (possibly automated?) saying "there hasn't been any activity in [the reported issue] recently" and asking if I could do some more testing to find out if the bug has disappeared so it can be closed. I know this is not commercial software, but Ubuntu is the only widely-used open source software I have used for which taking the trouble to report bugs appears to be a waste of time. I'm sure some on the Ubuntu team are aware of the value of carefully prepared bug reports from the user community, but unfortunately that understanding isn't sufficiently widespread to make a difference that I can see.
