I mostly need advice on how to follow up with a bug report (and what additional info I might need to pull together).
I'm new to debian, but not to GNU/Linux. I just installed Debian 7, and my install seems to be afflicted with a very old bug which was closed with no resolution. It was bug 636874 "gnome-shell: random characters are missing" On boot my top bar and menu lack the letters 'a' 'r' 's' and 't' I submitted a report and will dig through and see if a more recent report on the same issue was filed (the report spanned 2011 and 2012), but is anyone else experiencing this? Should I just wait patiently for a response to my report? Larry -- Amat Victoria Carum
