If you're willing to, please do. Most of us tend to not bother to
file bug reports because it's often a hassle to do so, so you're
currently a gem in a big pile of rocks. Along that same line, folks
don't seem to mind adding a, "Me, too," to bug reports that already
exist, so perhaps you'll pave the way for others who haven't piped up
yet.

It's also possible that a bug report does already exist, but with
different wording than yours, so you haven't found it. I'll bet
that's what's behind many of the ".... bug is related to..." flags
that end up on so many bug reports.

I thought I'd also add that any Ubuntu release (including all of its
derivatives) doesn't get nearly enough beta testers to give the
developers a really thorough idea of how their code will perform for
most users and their hardware until its actual non-beta release when
we all get our hands on it and start complaining.

As a result, it's always a good idea to consider any non-beta release
to be beta-like in its behavior for quite some time (and I'm talking
months here and possibly longer) while the developers find out and
work on what they would have liked to have known about sooner.

I'm currently sitting on two rather glorious bugs in Kubuntu 22.04
LTS, but the developers probably had no way of knowing that many of
us would experience those until we did.
