This is a longstanding problem which I reminded myself of trying to fix some other GOP stuff for 0.48 - I might manage to fix it for 0.48-1 but was afraid to change too much so close tot he release of 0.48-0
Thank you Miller, this is good to know!
(Also have to look at Fred Jan's solution which is apparently quite different from mine :)
and it is a good thread from the archive which I didn't find.
best, P
