It *was* an issue for 12.0, discovered almost immediately _after_ the
release :(
It was fixed very quickly in the release process - the workarounds given
fix it very quickly if you happen to be unfortunate.
There are good reasons why I recommend people to use the standard Debian
installer and _not_ the debian-live images and also why I recommend people
to bring their computer up to date with the latest software before raising
issues.
/me reminds people that the latest versions of supported software are 11.8
and 12.2 as of last Saturday.
All the very best, as ever,
