In another message, I proposed to fix that. That is, the face of the text would be different for each option state, Kind of harmless, but I believe not very necessary. and the text would be simpler (shorter) than it is now. Your versions are shorter, but cryptic. They leave out important info which is currently provided. And, with one very recent exception, all current text fits on one line, without producing continuation lines. Sincerely, Luc.
