Signal-android: Location Link Broken

I did you a favor by opening https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/6786 and you've just gone and auto-closed it. It contains all the information required to investigate the bug already. Consider this my re-submission. Feel free to close it and retain the bug in your software.

Consider what sort of attitude is required to dismiss work provided by others without even looking at it. If you close peoples bug reports without looking at them, they will rightly be annoyed.

Thank you for the submission, but the attitude is not helpful. Please try considering, if only for a moment, that you may know what the best thing is for development on a project that you have zero involvement developing. Fixed in 4.19.0

@moxie0 if #6786 was fixed in 4.19.0, then why did the dev who committed or merged the relevant commit not also use that commit to close #6786? That was the dev's oversight, not @mikecardwell's.

Also, to tell someone who has taken the time to report a bug (including screenshots) that has now been fixed, that they have had "zero involvement in developing" the app, is deeply condescending and ungracious.

For both these reasons, it is completely inappropriate to criticise Mike's attitude here.

Yes, you have built an impressive piece of software. But that does not justify abusing people who are trying to help.
