Thanks for your bug. Debugging the issue would require having the broken system to look on what is wrong but since you fixed it there is not a lot to do, marking as rejected. Feel free to reopen if that happens again

Hey that's ok. I never know whether what goes wrong on my computer is a
bug or something stupid I've done. So maybe "fixing" was a stupid thing
because it meant that a problem now can't be worked out. Sorry.
