Let's assume it works like specified. Wow, really thick skull you got there. I am not going to get into the details of how it works, but into your mindset. Your mindset is that it behaves wrong, and should be changed. Get real. If it works like it is specified, then it will not be changed. It is not up to me, or anyone else here. It could be totally useless, and it would not get changed. It might get replaced. If you want a new behaviour, you get to push for a brand new interface. Existing interfaces do not get changed. But your cute little nickname should have hinted that you don't have a mature understanding of the world.....
