You could be the first one reporting it upstream. My impression when
reading this thread is, that those participating in this thread have
got the impression, that it is an upstream bug.

The Wiki also mentions, in bold letters: "If Arch is not responsible
for a bug, the problem will not be solved by reporting the bug to Arch
developers."

Keep in mind that you suffer from this bug. If a maintainer doesn't
experience this bug, the maintainer hardly can report the bug
upstream and in the end you are the one who is affected, if the bug
will never get fixed.

My intention isn't to teach you to follow rules. I don't care at all if
you do or do not. I only want to inform you, that unlikely something
will happen, if a bug is reported at the wrong place.
