This I would call a bug

[Mark Schonewille]

Dear David,

Yes, since the long id includes a reference to the card, I would 
call it a bug. I'd post ot to Bugzilla if it hasn't been 
reported yet.

Richars is right that there is some ambiguity in the way you 
refer to the field, but IMHO Revolution should be able to deal 
with that.

Best regards,

Mark
