Joe,

Yeah I thought it would be something like that (but didn't spend time
looking at the moment, just thought I'd highlight the thread). Don't know
whether there's anything to consider adding to/clarifying in the
documentation in order to highlight that to (first time) users?

Again, I figured this would probably be "as designed" and I've not spent
the time reading the docs for this new default behaviour - so long as it
should be clear to first time users (provided they read the docs), then all
good.


Cheers,

Chris Sampson
