That's a very useful piece of information. Thanks, Yao. Normally, the fact that this isn't a regression is a strong indicator that we don't need to block a release pending resolution. In this particular case, given the fairly bad effect on the debugging session, and the fact that the regression was introduced in our last branch, I propose a compromise. We leave it like that for now, and will potentially delay the 8.0 release a bit waiting for the fix, provided that some one is working on it, and tells us he is close to having it. And, come release time, if we the fix is delayed to much, or there isn't any news about it, we'll set change the target milestone to 8.0.1 and try the same approach (wait a bit if there are chances we might get the fix soon). Does this sound OK? -- Joel
