Thank you so much for the pointer.  I have tried and failed to vote
for this bug.  Perhaps my experience will explain why it has received
so few votes:

  1. Voting requires an account on yet another bugzilla.  I overcome
     my annoyance and inertia and apply for an account.
  2. Applying for an account sends a challenge message to my email
     address.
  3. My employer's email server runs amavisd antivirus software, which
     misidentifies the challenge as a virus and refuses to deliver it.
  4. I cannot vote.

My bluetooth icon is always on; no luck there, I'm afraid.
I've also tried turning it off and on again.
