OK, thanks. It is a missing bit of functionality. I wasn't sure
whether it was related to "Warning - this button cannot be
activated" or a deficiency that has no immediate plan to fix.

Anyway: thanks for fixing bug 410. I see the entire line is now

simplification of the code - you only have to check the Y position!
