I would say create a bug report for this and specify the component "outliner". I think there are several known fundamental problems with the outliner, perhaps necessitating a big rewrite to work around some issues. So if we have all the bugs up there, then when someone does finally get annoyed enough to tackle the mess, there will not be a shortage of information. Scott
