I recently found out that this one got closed as well: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/470
> Opened 18 years ago
> Closed 9 months ago
I'm fascinated by projects that are so stable that specific issues remain relevant for this long, and at the same time persistently active, so that someone eventually steps up and fixes those issues.

FINALLY! I have been bitten by this bug several times; it also applied to CSS properties involving table layouts (cell, etc.), which I used to be a heavy user of. Glad to see it fixed!

I wish Android/Google would close old bugs too... like the intentionally-not-implemented ad-hoc wifi

Gnome's thumbnails in file picker feature still hasen't been fixed in over 20 years. They recently added the code for thumbnails but it doesn't work without opening Nautilus first. I remember KDE 3.0 from 2002 had functional thumbnails. Gnome has single-handedly ruined the idea of Linux on the desktop for most people as most distros are Gnome based by default.

Does that mean I have to wait 20 more years for this one to be fixed?
Recently discussed: Firefox tooltip bug fixed after 22 years (10.10.2023) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37827995
Every time switching to another program you had to take care not to trigger tooltip event in Firefox, since it would stay on top of your programs active window. Great, it was finally fixed.
