It is already submitted a couple of times as a bug rather than as an 
enhancement:

<http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=2147>

This particular one is still marked as unconfirmed, but we have had 
several reports of it in the support queue too. I distinctly remember 
entering it in Bugzilla myself, but now I can't find it. So there is 
another one in there somewhere as well.

It would be good to add any new reports to the above, since that one is 
marked as an actual bug.
