Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

Upstream developers usually want bug reports for the development
release, not stable (maintained) releases of their software. Ubuntu
20.04 LTS will of course be using a stable release (Ubuntu's current
development release is groovy, not focal/20.04).

If you look at the package you filed, you'll note
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cinnamon) groovy uses 4.6.6-1
compared to 4.4.8-4 in focal.

It's often best to file your bug on the version you are using, if it's
confirmed, to file the bug upstream it's rather common for upstream to
need proof it's been tested on their current development version (which
may be easiest by confirming the bug on a VM running a different
distribution or upstream PPA/package-repository).

The EOL will be in the eyes of the developers (meaning a later version
is available), and does not reflect that downstream users/packagers of
the product can backport bug-fixes to that version. You can use `ubuntu-
security-status` (ubuntu-support-status for older releases) to view
package status for your current system.

This is comment only.
