17 year old Firefox feature request fixed

Also Gnome. Always cracked me up. Like I'd make this issue with like all the details reported and everything. ESR would have wept. And then "Does this issue still occur in Gnome 3?" and closed a week later all while I'm on vacation. Homie, this sat here for like 5 years, surely you can be a little patient.

Anyway, that taught me not to report something that's not a game-ender. Which is probably what they want too, so I guess we're all in some sort of equilibrium.

That's kind of sad though, since that type of issue is really valuable if the project is under active development.

jwz has nicknamed this the CADT model, for "cascade of attention-deficit teenagers".

(edit: _jal beat me to it.)

Few things are as infuriating as taking the time to write a great bug report just for it to be ignored or autoclosed.
