Thanks Christopher M Penalver, I have added bug #1546552 and subscribed
you to it. This bug is affecting my main desktop (sole means of revenue-
generation) but it doesn't seem to pop up that often so I may just
battle through with 15.10 and not downgrade in anticipation of a
solution in the not too distant future.
