Your use of "seem to have returned" implies that the problem went away
at some point.  Since the above link is from a time when the problem was
extant it isn't really useful to point at it.

Again, what would be useful is some hint of when you think the problem
went away.  Again, if you are reporting that it worked in 1.7.9 but
stopped working in a snapshot then that is something useful to know.  If
you are just saying that you reported a bug two years ago and you notice
that the bug is still there, that is not something that we urgently need
to fix in 1.7.10 since it isn't a regression.
