Gene, please read the mail pertaining to your report which I just posted on emc-developers.
I strongly oppose 'restoring this feature'. Unless a proper solution is implemented, this means restoring a bug which is just waiting to get somebody into real trouble. There is a reason the bugfix is there, and it is not about killing a popular feature. For further reference on the issue, I formally ask you again to file a bug report. There is a reason for doing so - retaining history. - Michael Am 03.05.2012 um 03:05 schrieb gene heskett: > Andy P., you said on IRC that it was a long time needed bugfix that took > away the ability to type ahead while doing things in the MDI mode.
