I can confirm that this bug is still not fixed in Ubuntu 16.04 Beta 2. It's a shame that the fix is not added 5 years later. I would strongly suggest to consider including it as I hit it 2 times before finding this thread (and the fix) and both times installed different distro (as I didn't find the source of the issue). Guess how many users declined to use Ubuntu because of this.
