OK, that just leaves one question ... Can someone please explain why the
one place I fail to look is always the one place that has the answer?

No, on second thoughts, don't answer that. It was presumably fixed because
someone reported it, which means it is in the archives somewhere, which
means there are (at least) two places I failed to look. Crawls back under
rock ...
