This bug indicates the problem affects 6 people, and it has Confirmed status in duplicate bug 772050 (which indicates it affects 6 people, and is itself a very strong bug report which had duplicates before it became a duplicate) as well as in duplicate bug 772690 (which indicates it affects 3 people). The bug has now been documented and people tend to experience it in the same way. I realize there may be some double- counting of users affected between this and the various duplicates, but even if the overlap were absolute, I think cause would still be more than sufficient to change this bug's status from New to Confirmed. So that's what I'm doing.
