In my case I also undock things without using Alt, so this is not really about being consistent. We need the old behavior back because people depend on it. Was this Mod1 handling a fundamental part of the drawers design or can you simply revert this part without much hassle? In hindsight, that huge patch probably should have been split. It would make things easier now. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
