Hi Dave,

Also just to clarify in case it's not clear - my preference is to keep
the existing behaviour by default (and allow the new behaviour as an
option), mainly to avoid breaking existing applications. I'm not too
worried about the argument as to whether it is the default behaviour or
not. As long as the feature can be included in the driver with a GUI
option to enable it, I'll be happy.

Kind regards,

Mark.
