It is really frustrating to create a bug-report with a complete patch just to wait for some months and seeing that nothing happens. And even after offering help it is closed with "timeout" and the bug still exists. And yes: trivial bugs are important. If something trivial not work, why use it? So it should be very easy to submit a report. Greetings, Torsten
