Ok,

If it was fixed why didn't the updates in 14.04LTS fix it. I've installed
everything offered up and including yesterday's updates.

Once again, I'm a humble *user*. A lot of this is gobbledegook to me. I
simply reported the bug when my network shares disappeared from
Thunderbird.

Can someone please explain in plain English how my 14.04LTS gets this fix?

Thanks
