No response from contributors. OP there says:

> But after updating ... now it works, but I don't now why and I'm not sure why and if it will continue working properly. I cannot trust such a system.

That could be simply explained as being justification of their decision after the fact. OP may have already decided to stop using the software, so even when they were informed that the software was fixed, they couldn’t back down. It’s a perfectly normal reaction, but not necessarily a rational one. Therefore, we cannot assume it is reasonable to follow their example.

Where are you seeing they were informed it was fixed?

In any case, the relevant thing about that issue is two people reported running into a serious problem, months later it's still open with no information on what may have caused it.

Nowhere. Where did I say they were?

Re-reading I see you were just suggesting a possibility.
