The problem is: We don't know that for sure. :/

Yeah, I'm back.... :)

Let's make it so.
We should also check back the open bugs whether we can reproduce
them with 1.2.2 and bother the bugwriters again if not. Of course
for obvious cases this is not necessary. This way we can move the
bugs up in the versioning and hopefully sort out a few more.
In the next time I'll be going to check back all the open queries
for information and check for reproducibility on my 3 testmachines
here (i686 notebook, AMD Duron, PPC notebook) whether I can reproduce
them and close them if not. We need to improve the quality of the
reports a lot to be really helpful; without a good description
and a stacktrace for crashes they are useless so we should urge the
reporters to give us this information.
Servus,
Daniel
