Oh, I'm well aware of that (former development professional, not just 3d games. 10 years of it), and it's not a big issue indeed, but nevertheless a cosmetic issue that shouldn't be neglected when possible. So let's forget I even mentioned it happens to cvs users : it happens to stable releases

Nic, It's also worth pointing out (again!) that users of CVS must accept that FG and its associated models are constant works-in-progress. Issues like you describe are easily fixable prior to an official release, but are difficult to manage in the constant state of flux between them. I'm in
