Just saw that my response was stuck in my outbox.
I /think/ the patch is redundant. But maybe I'm missing something.
Can you send me the V2 file that triggers the misbehavior?

Yeah, as I said, there's NO WAY we'll get this right. All we can do is try

UI like that wouldn't be all that hard to do and could be really useful
