Yes it does make a difference. A big difference. That would be the
workaround I really needed.  At least currently thats the way it looks,
i havent thoroughly tested the result yet but it certainly looks right.

Perhaps this should be enabled by default to avoid the problem i
encountered? At least until whatever the cause of the root problem is
identified and fixed.

Thanks a lot. ++ to you.

Cheers,
