Marking as Fix released as using a recent version of Ubuntu (12.04) I
could reproduce your bug.
Here's how I tested it as I didn't quite have the hardware (legacy free only
here :)):
- Started a VM with: sudo kvm -cdrom
data/vm/iso/testing/precise-desktop-amd64.iso -hda data/vm/ltsp.img -boot

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue
for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
