This bug is not present in version 2.2.2 of Mathematica with the
X Front End, the current shipping version for the platforms you
mention.

Anyone having problems with this bug can contact Wolfram Research
Technical Support (support at wri.com or support-euro at wri.com) and
requesta  bug-fix upgrade.

I hope this helps.
