Reading the comment 0, I was inferring this bug is unbuntu only, but the dependency with bug 1315189 (meta for Windows) was set, so I am quite confused. Could you please clarify? Thank you Cynthia for the testing and reporting. :)

Sorry, this issue cannot be reproduced on Window. Should we should have meta-bugs for Linux and Mac? If yes, I will create other meta-bugs. By the way, do we need to create 3 bugs when the issue can be reproduced on Window, Linux, Mac? Thank you. :)
