I'm aware this is an important issue (And yes, it's taken far too > long to address it). We are trying to post something shortly. It's not a regular nuisance for me, I just spotted the flaw and wanted to bring it up in case it slipped form everyone radars. If it was actively bugging me I would be happy to offer a hand. This way it is good to know it's being worked on so thanks for letting us know. Regards, Tvrtko
