I must be slow:  I thought this was an engine bug, no?  If it is I'd 
rather fix it in the engine than patch the IDE and then patch it back 
once the engine is fixed.  If this is not an engine problem then I'll 
drop in the patch code, but if it's not then why was it working before?

If it is a bug, what's the Bugzilla number so we can vote on it?

I'll get to them when I get to them. :)
