Wow the resolution to your link [3] is infuriating:

> We assure you that we are doing our best to address the issue reported, however our product team has shifted work priority that doesn't include this issue. For now, we will be closing the issue as won't fix obsolete. If this issue currently still exists, we request that you log a new issue (...)

It's all possible excuses all at once: "Thank you for your issue, we are working on it. Also we have no intention to work on it and we are closing it, the problem probably doesn't exist anymore anyways, and if you think it does make sure to open a new issue for us to treat it with the same amount of respect".

Reminds me of some bug reports I was looking at for Chromium regarding SVG rendering the other day.

Some of them are almost a decade old and require constant bumps to keep them alive, or filling new issues. Somehow their bot system considers anything more than a year old "probably patched". Their messages read much the same way as that.

Good catch - that’s horrendous and feels like absolute fobbing off with “type a bunch of cliches”
