Hi Jason,
thanks for both fixes.
Looking at them, it seems like it'd normally be 6.11 material, but given
- how far we currently are in a 6.11 development cycle
- how long this issue has been present in the code
- the fact that it actually does change the event processing behavior
I have to ask you for a judgement -- would you like to absolutely see
these in 6.11 as last-minute fixes, or do you consider this to be 6.12
material?
Thanks,
