True, except you're missing a couple of points here. The first,
and most important, is that the devs have repeatedly stated that this
issue does not effect them. Given that, they are highly unlikely
to devote any time to it, let alone the amount of time required to
profile the channel changing code and repeatedly recompile to test
fixes. You're also forgetting that this is not a commercial
product. It's software designed and written by Isaac and the
other developers, for their use. They are generous enough to
release it, for free, to anyone else who cares to use it. So, if
you want to use their wonderful free project, you get what they choose
to give you. If you don't like how it works, fix it without
breaking anything else and they'll probably be happy to include your
patch. Continual bitching about a feature not working the way YOU
think it should, with no attempt at debugging or fixing the error, is
very likely to get you nothing but angry replies.<br>
