This came up when I was helping a friend with his computer a week or two ago.
It wasn't practical to report the bug then, so I reported it later based on my
fuzzy recollection.
It's possible it wasn't 0.5.28.5 that I was having the problem with. 0.5.28.5
is the version on the computer I reported the bug. Has this problem been
fixed in stable?
