Cheers Nate, that trick seems to work. I'm guessing this recent commit (11 days ago) is part of the issue: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/commits/506484344db3a370f8ae24096041d38557d1967e I hope this won't require any 'grafting' for those of us working from the default branch? Will I be safe merging the 'default' into my own branch, or should I wait while you guys sort out whatever you need to do first?
