Seems this was not a fix, but introduced an error. Dp you agree to revert that commit?
of course i disagree. this change is a fix in my mind.
Please reconsider. This has been working for nearly a decade, and now it's broken. I want to see this fixed. If needed, by reverting the commit that broke it.
it's been working for your specific use cases. it hasnt been working without pains for everyone.
I agree you have a point.
But it is a change in behaviour, and what it makes worse it that it's an undocumented one. Users who have been doing the same thing for a decade suddenly find their old scripts are not working any more, and there it even a hint of what they do now.
If we decide that such a change makes sense, then it must be explained and documented properly.
i guess i can try harder to goad Daniel into getting his work going -mike
