Thanks for the explanation. I'm happy to wait for the clean fix.
By the way, I had searched the requested features list to see if this
behavior were mentioned, and I didn't see it. Is there somewhere I
should have looked before posting? If I'd known it was on a TODO list I
wouldn't have troubled the list with the question.
Thanks,
