If you mean that you set the global start early/end late settings
(rather than the program specific ones), then that's how it's always
behaved. I don't think anything has changed. My CVS is a few weeks old,
but that's how it's always behaved.

Only if you set per-program start/end adjustments.
The behaviour you describe would be useful, but I don't think it's ever
been in.
