You must be new here. 😉

Bugs just don't get fixed in most packages. In this case, though, this specific problem has been fixed in the current version of the bug-tracker that you'll get if you install it into your own OpenACS installation...a couple of major new issues have been introduced, however, that makes it a toss-up as to whether you want the old problems or the new. Both are extremely ornery and much harder to fix that you'd think.

I'm not at all familiar with the code running on OACS.org, but the bug-tracker I have on my server is wholly impossible to understand. I've tried to fix the biggest issue (normal users cannot comment on bugs unless they created the bug) on several occasions--once or twice with a "I'm going to fix this thing even if I have to read every line of code in the whole package" attitude, and still failed on every attempt.
