Is this user-settable in the IDE?

If not, what is the benefit of concealing the engine's true behavior?

Introducing differences between the engine's native behavior and the 
IDE's modifications of that should be done only with great care, and 
ideally with user-settable preferences which draw attention to these 
anomalies.

Differences between runtime and development make it harder to diagnose 
problem runtime problems from within the development environment, 
raising development costs unnecessarily.


Know the engine.
Trust the engine.
Use the engine.
