OK, I understand what you want to test now. So your test is actually correct, it was the comments where you mentioned clicking past the *second* line that confused me. :-)

Sorry but this patch is not suitable for backporting into Aurora (which will soon become Beta) at this point, because it's quite risky in terms of the possibility to cause regressions. It needs to land on trunk and ride the trains. I understand that you'd like to see it fixed as soon as possible, but please be a bit more patient. :-)

OK, that's fair. :-)
