Hi Pierre, Thank you for having taken the needed time to report this issue! We regret if this issue didn't get fixed. Closing as OLD, because Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/ It only continued to get important security updates since then, but non-security bugs have no chance of still getting fixed.
