Well I've learnt one thing - the default search in Bugzilla doesn't look at 
"fixed" bugs, otherwise my search would have found this, and I'd not have 
caused unnecessary effort - sorry.

The way I'd read comment #4 is that the solution described in #1 wasn't 
good, because it changed the previous "OK" behaviour, and that it therefore 
would have to be changed, even though comments #2 and #3 indicated the 
original solution had been implemented. Perhaps this happened before it was 
committed to a release. I'm surprised that Bugzilla doesn't indicate the 
release in which a bug marked as "RESOLVED FIXED" has been integrated.
