Yes, cloning is a totally separate issue. I am entering this in 
Bugzilla so RR people can sort it out. As far as I can see, this is 
an undocumented change of behavior.

Not instating password protection upon close is yet another issue and 
I will Bugzilla it as well. It is not new to 2.6.1 but it did not 
check how far back it goes. If 546 was in place, we could have a 
workabout. As it is, there is nothing we can do AFAIK.
