Okay. No problem. I'm just wrong :) Sorry for being misleading.
This wasn't the response I expected... :(Was your gutter fix included in version 4.8.4? Does it have a maximum acceptable value? (maybe it is ignoring my 100?) I really did expect it to work for at least this one specific case if I set the gutter big enough... Can you think of any reason why it wouldn't have worked?
I'm just don't want to rule out the gutter solution entirely until I'm sure I have actually tried it.
