If this bug affects you, then please, please DO NOT FAIL to click the "Affects Me Too" bubble at the top of the page.

When somebody other than the original bug reporter clicks that, the status of the bug gets changed to "confirmed".

It has long been apparent policy on Launchpad that bugs which are reported but not confirmed (and are not screaming security issues) tend to be ignored and just collect dust even if a patch or solution is presented by the reporter of the bug.

The act of more people confirming the bug tends to give a bug some priority to getting a fix implemented.
