Thank you Sebastien for assigning this to Aron to resolve!! Reading one of the URL's you supplied about the issue (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597839 ) where Beniamino Galvani has already created a patch / fix. Not being a developer is there any way we can test this patch that Beniamino created which may assist Aron if he can't look at the issue in the short term? Even directing to instructions on how to apply the patch? Was hoping to have the issue resolved before the 16.04.2 release scheduled this week. I realise this won't happen now but I'm sure most of us that have experienced the issue would like to have this issue fix this sooner rather than later. Cheers.
