Please no. A bit of anarchy goes a long way towards enabling smoother forward movement. BTW, I still don't think there was anything wrong with my original code: enabling the feature by default was done specifically so as to catch bugs and see if people liked it. Having it turned off now means that the remaining bugs stay dormant. Other than Randal who gets disproportionately annoyed by apparently random events anyway, I haven't seen anybody consider the change as a step backward (modulo bugs of course), so I strongly believe it should be enabled by default at least for now to get more experience with it. Randal can turn the feature off since there's a variable for that. Stefan
