Possibly David Pilling has some more thoughts on this problem.
Having tried the example, I think it is a much worse bug than I imagined. My impression is that it should not be too hard to fix, so I will now look into it.
I'm glad there has been more discussion of the problem, my initial reaction was that it was a minor problem which I would ignore for the time being.
I find it a difficult situation. I can't fix every problem. Should I feel bad about that?
To pick one example in my defence, I find that Internet Explorer often falls over or does incorrect redraws. Billions of dollars, 1000's of engineers and MicroSoft can't get it right.
It's just difficult. Had I spent the time I've spent on moving to Windows fixing bugs things would be a lot better. So a choice, bug ridden software that people might use versus bug free software that no one (OK a few) can use.
