I too am affected by this bug. "If a developer decides it bothers them enough though, they may go ahead and do the work to backport it..." This is the kind of thinking that keeps linux irrelevant to the majority of computer users. Even the distributions that make an effort to cater to the non technical users are riddled with bugs, some of which are so severe as to make the os unusable (have you ever lost your graphical interface after a kernel update?). Even for an LTS edition,a bug is fixed if it bothers a developer enough. If they can find a workaround for it it means the bug is not critical...For them. For a normal user it may mean days or even weeks of research on message boards and frustrating trial and error attempts that often times make things worse. So "critical" has hardly the same meaning for knowledgeable linux users as for regular users, for whom the operating system is (and should be) a tool that is invisible. Ubuntu already is a great operating system for developers. If you want it to also be an operating system the other computer users, the scale you use to weigh the severity of bugs is wrong.
