Hi, I am using 14.04 and having this issue as described in bug description. I am using linux for desktop for nearly 15 months. These types of errors not good for newcomers like me. Of course I will search and will try to find a workaround , but this is a basic operation and must be fixed. (basic as in fundemental)
