If it is a known issue, shouldn't have been a fix by now?

On the one hand I don't want to appear sharp, on the other hand, whilst
this is a somewhat trivial bug, it is very much "in your face" and very
irritating.

I do not rate this as of low importance, this is something that should
be of high importance.  OK so it doesn't (necessarily) affect the
correct functioning of Bazaar operations but it is ugly and irritating
to the users -- well me anyway.  Acceptability is about perception and
this looks ugly and out of place and so affects the perception of
utility:  if the developers don't care about how the feedback looks to
users maybe they don't care about what is going in internally?

(I know this isn't actually true, but this is about perception not
reality.)
