It is working, but only if the default action is missing as well. So
indeed /bin/view/Page doesn't work ('view' is considered the space), but
/bin/Page does work. And as far as I know, it always worked this way.When not considering nested spaces, I'm -0 for its removal, it's a setting that's useful for shorter URLs in a mostly read only site (e.g. public website). I don't have a clear grasp of how nested spaces work, so I'm not sure how this setting affects nested spaces.
