Thanks for trying! Well dang, I expected that to work. If anyone else can try that command-sequence on macOS, that would be helpful. I still think it could be a nice workaround to the bug (if it works, we can change the menu to run that command). But if the command-sequence doesn't work on its own, that good be a different (or related?) bug. Scott
