Unfortunately this is a limitation in Bugzilla. Many discussions have been taking place recently around moving to a more flexible solution with better workflows. If you can confirm this bug is still plaguing Konsole please change the status to CONFIRMED, then a developer will take a look at the issue and work towards a possible solution. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
