Hi Nigel,

Even though this is not the appropriate list for software issues, you
are correct in your observation.

This is a known issue in the 4.2.x version series.
See: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80846
Which has been resolved for the 4.3.x version series.

The 4.2.x version series have reached "End Of Life" with the release of
version 4.2.7, although the above bug report indicates that there _may_
be a final release version 4.2.8, but there is no indication this will
include a fix for this issue.

My recommendation would be for you to update to version 4.3:
