Just repeating that hasn't elicited any new information though. I'm afraid I
wasn't at the developer weekend to hear the conversation, but the ticket
history reads as

Simon: here's a problem
Vincent: agree that is a problem, but only on RISC OS
Sprow: here's a fix for the problem in the RISC OS version
Dave: we'd prefer to keep that problem in only the RISC OS version, thanks

I'd be prepared to bet that when I add tickets for the other frontends either
nobody would ever implement them, or that the tickets would just be closed as
"wont fix", presumably because adding double negatives is bad UI design.

Still seeking clarity here,
Sprow.
