@codebytere That is possible, and I currently do that. It just bloats up the app code with additional lines when this could be implemented once and for all for all...

This issue is still reproducible.

@codebytere and I looked into this issue a while ago. Our conclusion was that it was not easily fixable. (Unfortunately, I don't remember the reasons.) I'm fine with having logic...
