> Indeed, but this was fixed in version 5.20150727.

>> Oh, sorry about the noise then. I assumed the version I was running was the latest since it was pretty recent.

Note: it's extremely and unnecessarily hard to report a bug. There are no
links leading to instructions or anything on the home page. The "bugs" link
leads to a list of pages with no instructions. Please at least add
explanation to the bugs page. I had to edit an existing bug and change the
edit URL.

> Eh? The first thing on the bugs page is a form to add a new post to the
