Well, unfortunately this might not be true.

To clarify this: I just commented on the bug (clearly expressed my
opinion in the comment) and punted the Target Milestone -- which is more
like a wish or plan, not definite yet. Whether this will be fixed in
time depends on a lot of other factors, and there might be bugs that are
way more urgent to fix.

:-)

Please note, that Andre and me are volunteer hackers, user support,
bugmasters and bugging masters only. We are not the paid developers who
end up dealing with and fixing most of the bugs.

Anyway, hopefully this usability issue will be fixed soon, as it now was
discussed prominently. ;)
