IIRC there is also another bug involved which will be fixed by your #2015-patch. I propose to move bug 2019 out of the 1.4.0-radar after 2015 is fixed and target it to 1.5. If the gui for charstyles is in place, we can still see what we'll do with this. Now convince HIM to put the #2015-fix in ;-) Jürgen
