[android-developers] Re: Serious bug in 3.2 ResolverActivity

Is the Android team aware of this bug, I see there is a bug report at:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=18638

from July 18 but the status is still New.

Some say that it has been fixed but for what release and what device,
and is it indeed a fix because the bug will not show up in all cases.
