Just because YOU can't reproduce it doesn't mean it isn't happening. Others have reproduced the problem and also commented as such on the bug report. What is relevant is whether or not bug triagers and/or the maintainer of nspluginwrapper have been able to reproduce it. If they haven't, then the bare fact that other people can is useless to them. With the volume of bugs that come into the system, it is unreasonable to expect triagers and/or package maintainers to spend time playing around trying to find the conditions that reproduce a bug when they've been given little or no information whatsoever about said conditions from the people reporting it. The most common reason why a bug doesn't go anywhere in bugzilla is because the triagers and package maintainer can't reproduce it. This is not a condemnation or criticism; it is just plain fact. I did "go actually read the bug report." There's no reason to be snarky. There is nothing in the report that provides the triagers and package maintainer with enough information for them to be able to figure out how to reproduce the issue, if they are unable to reproduce it out-of-the-box....but I suppose that if you had bothered to go actually read the bug report, you would have known that. I have nothing out of the ordinary on my system. I'm running x86_64 F13 with updates and updates-testing enabled, and I have followed exactly the instructions on the Wiki for wrapping the 32-bit Flash plugin with nspluginwrapper.So, please list out your system configuration as relevant to this area of function. Perhaps you have somehow stumbled into a workable work-around configuration. If you want people to fix a bug that is affecting you but they can't reproduce, then it is incumbent upon you, not them, to do the work to figure out what's different about your system. TANSTAAFL. Note that this bug does not show up on the most frequently reported bugs list, which one would expect it to do if it were a widespread problem, given how prevalent Flash is on the Web nowadays. Furthermore, I scanned all the nspluginwrapper bugs going back almost a year and a half and did not find any other reports of this issue. jik |
