Following a quick enquiry as to its whereabouts, it looks as if it's back
again. Sorry... ;-)

(MBBack's gone into my "list of things to do", and I'll have a look at it in

The implication is that the recalculation on mode change is "better"

this isn't true ;-)

But glad to see you tried Decor out.
