Confirmed in Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT i386; en-US; m18)

I don't mind the "bug" myself however. I rather like it?

Unless I'm misunderstanding the description, this is how 4.x behaves, and how 
Windows apps behave in general.  This should be resolved INVALID.

Agreed, invalid - this is expected (and wanted) behavior.

I'll verify that, then.
