Yes, it is bad practice to mix posts on different versions like I did. I 
apologise.

Well, it definitely was an issue with versions 3.6 and below, and, as 
far as I recall, with version 3.7.

That might well be the case indeed.

Just to confirm, after testing: Also an issue with version 
3.7.0.msvc10.win64

The correction must have been made in one of the 3.8.0 alphas.

Having dug a bit in the revision history (my memory isn't as good as it 
used to be), there has indeed been such a fix, but that was already back 
in v3.7.1-alpha.8913469. Commit 3f1de0d6, dated 2016-12-11.

Ah OK. As a matter of fact, I do not have any of the 3.7.1 versions any 
more... except UberPOV: 1.37.1.1-alpha.8871946.msvc14.win64, which also 
shows the issue as it happens.
