Certainly if a patch for this fix materialized it would probably be a good candidate for karmic-updates but it doesn't seem that a specific fix has been found. It does however appear that the bug got fixed somewhere in updating the driver to entirely new versions. Ubuntu's policy is not to push an entire version, which may contain more regressions, to fix a single bug. A specific patch addressing this bug would need to be isolated.
Right now the bug status seems to accurately reflect what's going on. This isn't a bug in netbook launcher so I closed all those tasks as Invalid. I marked the xserver-xorg-video-intel task as "Fix Released" because the default status tracks the development release (Lucid right now). We track stable release updates via release nominations. So that should be all good. The only remaining consideration is if we should open an additional task for Karmic. Loïc declined the nomination because there is not yet an actionable patch that we can push to karmic-updates. If such a patch is made then certainly a Karmic bug task can be opened. I hope this makes more sense. You can read Ubuntu's update's policy here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates . I would imagine that this bug could perhaps warrant an update, but only if a specific patch is isolated and has been tested. -- [i855] netbook launcher mouse focus is off https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/368394 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
