But this need not wait to be fixed that way - it need not wait (how long?) for such a complete solution. We have, essentially, a regression. There are simple ways to work around it - while waiting for the more complete solution that Michael suggests. My suggestion is to do one of those things _until or unless_ the more complete solution is available. Let's not just leave things broken until then. IOW, fix this quickly in some less-than-perfect way, to get things back to "normal" in some sense. That does not prevent a more satisfactory solution being implemented. If you prefer to keep all of that in the same bug thread that's fine by me. But I would like to see a quick fix in some way. What I don't want to see is nothing happen, in the vague hope that someday there will be pie in the sky. If/when there is pie in the sky I'll be happy, of course. > > However you look at it, until/unless the enhancement ^^^^^^^^^^^^ > > requests that Michael suggests are available this bug > > needs fixing.

I said from the outset that it is not the right fix. But it is a quick workaround to back out of a regression for those users affected. When do you expect to have the right fix implemented. In any case, I'm happy and grateful to hear that you intend to fix this correctly.
