With the pressure they have to refine the mobile feature set, don't be
surprised if Linux-specific RQCC issue take a bit to show status change.
It's also worth noting that the RQCC is in practice only a feeder for
the tracking system they use internally, so in most cases -- regardless
of affected platform -- you may not see any change there until an issue
is resolved. For issues I've reported I often see them sit apparently
untended, but then when a new release comes out batches of them get
marked off as "Fixed" all at once.
Would you mind posting the RQCC #s here? I track Linux issues since
they affect an ever-greater portion of my work.
