Dear M. Hari Nezumi,
Your report is quit old. Maintainers comment on it but did not take any
action (e.g. closing).
Time has passed and version at upstream increased.
Please check if the issue you describe is still relevant in the latest
version provided by Debian GNU/Linux.
It seems to me that the issue might better located at the upstream
project. I suggest to ask on their mailing list before opening a bug
ticket.
