You might notice that I did not ask him for the version precisely
because he supplied it. I was merely restating the information that
we need in order to be able to help.

Rather than being insulting, you might get better results if you
stated your problems more clearly.
As to alpha/18808, I'm afraid I don't understand the problem you're
having & cannot duplicate it. Perhaps if you were to ammend the
problem report with some sample code, somebody might be able to
address it.
Can tell me why I cannot duplicate the problem? Here's what I did:
