Thanks, fixed in SVN trunk. I cannot easily fix it in the 1.6 branch 
without breaking the translations unfortunately.

Unfortunately that's down to the wxWidgets library we use. I agree it

what they are in EnterpriseDB where they first appeared.I'm beginning to 
think we should just make that a per-server behavioural change.
