When I went to print this content in debug mode, I definitely got different output to the screen. You could of course be correct that it would make no difference programatically, so if you think it's sensible to only force the conversion on screen-printing, I don't have a problem with that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
