This is yet another little niggling "friendly feature"
we've been grumping about not working as desired since 2001
-- both on the lists and via the bug reporter -- but Apple
has yet to correct.  The other that always immediately
comes to mind is handling of braces.  Just a couple
constant annoyances that would be fairly simple to take
care of, but they bull-headedly refuse to correct or
provide options for because someone erroneously thinks he
knows more about what's good for users and developers than
the users and developers do.
