[Reportbug-maint] Bug#489447: got also hit by this bug

[Thomas Braun]

Hi,

first of all I'm not a DD but a regular user.
Two days ago I also got hit by this bug and lost something like 30min of work.
Of course I could reproduce it, but reproducing it is not the problem.

It is the discouragement.

If you decide as a regular user to submit a bugreport (which is not so common 
for a user) and decide to invest some time to write the problem up, you don't 
want to get screwed up afterwards.
And if the user, after loosing his report, decides to not report the problem 
(which I would say is more than likely), the project itself looses.

IMHO this bug should be grave and therefore should be fixed for lenny.

Thanks for considering and happy holidays,
Thomas
