Comment 3 George Lebl 2002-08-01 13:23:05 EDT

This is fixed in the newest versions, in fact this was only a bug in the
original .0 version that came out with gnome2.

Comment 4 Havoc Pennington 2002-08-01 14:15:48 EDT

Can you try the 2.4.0.4 package from rawhide when it appears?

Comment 5 Havoc Pennington 2002-08-01 14:16:59 EDT

(you = reporter, not george)

Comment 6 Need Real Name 2002-08-04 16:07:27 EDT

I can reproduce this every single time in Limbo II with no updates.

Comment 7 Havoc Pennington 2002-08-04 16:22:24 EDT

Limbo 2 had 2.4.0.0 I think, george is claiming 2.4.0.4 from rawhide will fix.

Comment 8 Thomas M Steenholdt 2002-08-04 17:17:33 EDT

After having upgraded to the rawhide release, I have NOT been able to reproduce
the problem... Fix confirmed!
