Well, that's better. It is now a confirmed and reproducable bug. This does 
not necessarily mean it will be fixed soon (as a myself cannot debug 
Javascript errors), but the Javascript guys now have at least a chance to 
do so.

BTW: A little big of nagging after some months may also help if 
nothing changes (not too much, but a bit :-)

P.S. The comments about bug reports are not KDE specific. Your chances to 
get errors fixed will increase a lot with better reports. Best chances are 
still in fixing themself, but I know ...

P.P.S. I often hear, that learning programming is too difficult. I myself 
think, that languages like e.g. Perl are easy to learn for beginners and 
bring real benefit fast for some of the automation tasks which occur 
sometimes (e.g. renaming lots of files, changing specific contents of 
texts files, ...). And if one knows how to do programming, learning a new 
language is much easier. And the next one a lot easier again. After 15 
years I probably used 10-20 languages :-) And you will never forget the 
orgasmic feelings when a program your wrote really does what you want.
