I also think there are bug reports about it. I think it is a reasonable
request, but I think that it is separate from this topic, although I
agree that you could use Guillaume's button to achieve what you want.
Also, even though I do support your feature request, it would be great
if you could make bug reports with reproducible examples so that we
could fix the bugs at the source.
