If "staying close to OXC" means "not fixing bugs"?
It's not all black-or-white, it's a spectrum.
You consider it a clear bug, I don't.
Warboy also doesn't see it as a bug, if you are actually quoting him, not just paraphrasing.
If we implemented the other option that volutar told you about... you'd still consider it a bug, wouldn't you?
I am not going to change this only in OXCE, I have no reason to do that and many reasons not to do that.
If it gets changed in OXC however, as Yankes said it will be automatically changed also in OXCE.
