is it worth reporting bugs in 2.6.1?

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Bernard,

The first part of this bug was reported already as <http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=6348 
 > some time ago.

Since the close box issue exists in 2.6.1 but --if I understand you  
correctly-- seems to be resolved in 3.0, it makes no sense to report it.
