This was reported by two people and fixed few weeks ago, and was
reported on this list as well as recently as Monday. (Yet, the
bug is several years old!) Thanks for catching it, though,
anyways.

Well, bug reports are probably best sent to the bug tracker, so
they don't get lost. Though if you want comments on a patch,
sending it here is a good thing.

Tou could look at the bugtracker. (bugs.gnome.org) Many (if not all)
fixed bugs will appear in the closed bug section. Except that the bug
tracker is in bad disrepair, and closed bugs are temporarily not being
shown on the bug tracking machine so that it doesn't completely die.
