I was going to file a bug for GNUMERIC. But I decided to send an email to the Gentoo dev list. There are already a similar bugs for other applications... https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327595 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327595 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363631 ...and it looks like it'll affect virtually every GNOME-related app. This is going to have to be handled at a higher level than whack-a-mole bug reports. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
