Ah, I can confirm that it does indeed seem to be working now! Thank you very much for fixing it! (The report and test-cast are my pleasure.) 
It’s possible that the issue began with some update to Ubuntu–I don’t recall whether I checked it under 1.9 after discovering the problem. I do seem to recall that it was working at some stage in the past.
As to the issue tracker, that perhaps would be better. Sorry! ^^;
