Bug#836246: Acknowledgement (libgtk-3-0: Upgrade from 3.20.9 to 3.21.5 broke Mate desktop)

Fri Sep 2 04:39:22 UTC 2016

I don't need to start debugging things when I already know the issue is resolved by a new upstream release of MATE.

Your bug report isn't telling us news, it's just annoying. And if you don't think my reaction is justified, just go to the MATE package bug tracker and check how many bug reports we already got which all can be traced down to this single upload of gtk+3.0.

Do you really not understand how annoying this is when people come and tell you over again "Your stuff is broken, did you know?"

These bug reports are USELESS and ANNOYING because they are redundant. I am all for locking up the Debian bug tracker with an account mechanism because users STILL think the Debian bug tracker is a FUCKING SUPPORT FORUM!

I know stuff is broken, FFS!

I only wanted do inform Debian about that and being as detailed as possible to help finding a solution! Including reporting the workaround, to help those users googling around for the same problem. It's all i can do and i assure you that it took time to do all that.

But it only a graphics artifact: the icons isn't still there anymore, as you can see trying clicking on it or moving, for example, a terminal windows on it, then moving away.
