(sighs) I don't think I really understand this bug well enough to put it in the right format. Norbert and anyone else who really wants this fixed in Ubuntu that's not 17.10 please can you do that? Check '3.1. SRU Bug Template' on the link Julian gave and then edit the bug with the relevant details. Thank you! :D
