Hi Tom,

Thanks very much for looking at this, but a question to confirm...

It looks like you didn't check every version in between, just figured 
out that it changed somewhere between 2.4.2 and 3.2.1, correct?

Now, I guess the questions are, 1) what was the precise version where 
this behavior changed, 2) was the change intentional, and 3) if so, *why*.

Imho, the default behavior should mimic MSO (the most popular office 
package with the largest installed base, whether one likes it or not).

Cor? anyone? Should I just go file a bug?
