Hi Charles, Thanks for reporting this, and sorry it’s taken so long for someone to respond (it’s been a busy year for the maintainers).
I’ve confirmed both your issue report (thanks for the detailed steps), and your suggested fix. As such, I’ve produced a patch (attached). It would be good if someone else could check this looks fine and apply it. All the best, Timothy
