Ah, I see. Unfortunately, I'm not that familiar, I just found a bug a in the original upstream, and while searching on the internet I found the alternate upstream which fixed that bug, and that seemed actively maintained. I'll try to investigate the differences, but I'm not very familiar with javascript, so it'll take me a while. thanks, iustin
