Well, this may not be...English speaking use, right?<br />Well, this may not be a critical bug in the sense that you put it, but on the other hand, you realize that in order to lose data you have to create it first, and that and another few bugs make it really difficult to use the keyboard to create data in the first place.<br />Although i disagree on the "Canonical thumbed its nose at Ubuntu community" view, you should understand that all of us that often have to type dual-layout documents (greek+latin, cyrillic+latin, hebrew+latin, arabic+latin), are feeling somewhat frustrated, as since i-bus is handling layout changes, every fix is breaking something else.

Usually, when a developer fixes a bug, they spot test it before pushing it out (unless they have a huge amount of resources to do extensive testing before pushing out a broken fix - aka Microsoft, MacAffee, et al).<br /><br />As a developer, I have had to deal with my own share of bugs that were more hardware specific. I just don't always have the necessary equipment to be able to reproduce the bug (often required when hardware is involved), let alone do thorough testing of all possible corner cases.<br /><br />So I guess my question to you would be, are you trying to be part of the community that adds useful contributions, or are you just trolling for ad revenue?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-75614219927792462362013-10-23T23:14:58.856+01:002013-10-23T23:14:58.856+01:00I am happy to see that it is fixed now.

This bug was marked as high and it surely affected a great many users, but did it stop people from booting? Was there major data loss or corruption? No.<br /><br />Quit trolling and move onto something that really matters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
