OK, let me amplify my own position - currently I am doing a bit of work on my
own project easmy - a lot more fun then going backwards and forwards in some
other area. If no one takes this bug on, I would give it a go, subjec to my
limitations of Qt design (I have retired from Delphi to hack Python a few
years ago). I have planned to look at Qt GUI interface and read part of
Summerfield's book on Qt GUI design. That is not a good qualification to do bug
fixes of GUI, but I am a sucker for punishment.

I mention this, because I don't want to be in the way of someone else keen to
fix this bug.

Al, i also apologise for misinterpreting your wish for GUI behaviour - it is
not spurious at all!
