What is "Iris"? Does this bug only happen with it, or is it a general Ubuntu bug?

The reveal code is part of XPCOM, so pushing to there for initial analysis at least.

I, too, am curious about this. I am also curious whether this is a regression of some kind.

Hi guys!
'Iris' is actually a tag/label, to recognize the bugs logged by Iris Team in Bugzilla, has nothing to do with a special settings or environment.

Sorry for delay on replying here, I was in medical time-out.
