Resolution Note:
Hello, first of all sorry, we do understand how annoying this is. You are right it is a bug however we only have limited ressources to look into bugs so we have to make prioritizations based on the amount of users that are impacted. We have added this to our feature request list because this is something we pull from when we have time or ressources available. I completely understand that this isn't the most satisfactory answer but we unfortunately just can't focus on this at this time.
