Assuming this workaround passes whatever tests it might need, how are all the rest of us 'normal' users going to get it? Will it be patched into our regular updates? When? I am on 16.04, and this has been going on for a while now, perhaps mid November as another poster stated. But I also see tons of similar issues going back for several versions of Ubuntu. What happened to all of those? Didn't anyone notice that the same issue was carrying over from version to version?
