Bug still being reported as present in build 1.8.1-3.fc20 x86_64: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1717338#post1717338 @Wolfgang - I suggested updating to this build and the user affected julia2009 already had it installed. Please make contact with her via the fedoraforum if you need further information.
Re: comment 7 sorry for the false alarm. it is now resolved. missing updates subsequently installed for other components have fixed the issue
