it is encouraging to see so explicitely expressed support:)

These are great news, I hoped for such an answer - so I am looking forward!

To be honest, I feel that every my report to the list is lost sooner or 
later. That's why I started to put them also to Redmine, maybe it is 
easier to track them there.

(Just for illustration, I checked that I reported/confirmed 5 issues in 
the list during the last year, quite reproducible, all with no resolution.)

It definitely helps, thanks for your reply, it is appreciated!
