This bug was reported against a GNOME version that is now not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use. By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME.

The current stable GNOME is 2.32.1.
Please check if the problem you reported here still occurs with a recent version of GNOME by reporting back which exact version you tested against

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed for your version.
Without feedback this report will be closed as INCOMPLETE in 6 weeks.
