I'm afraid if this counts as one of your top 10 bugs, you've obviously not been 
doing this for too long! (No offence meant - it's just that this is relatively 
innocuous and you've got a lot more unpleasant experiences to come).

If you try and raise this as a bug you're likely to get the response, it's not 
a bug, it's a feature.

Martin

ps - don't try to get an emacs versus vi argument going - but this wouldn't 
happen with another editor.
