Hi Guys, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. Gabriel the original bug reported mentioned this is no longer an issue so I am going to close this report for now.

Islam, is this still an issue for you with the most recent Hardy Heron 8.04 release - http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . If so, please open a new bug report. Thanks in advance.
