I posted a similar issue last week - David told us that the nightly
build (starting from Thursday of last week, I think?) has the fix in it.
He even told us where it was - let me look that up. Here it is:

My experience with this was that I went to this link, downloaded the
nightly, installed it, and I wasn't in Kansas any more :)
Good luck!
