Is this a dupe of bug 268836?  (This one is earlier, so maybe it should be the
other way round, but I think 268836 is a clearer description of the bug in
question.)

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
