One year or not, I am not willing to keep the broken setting as a default. I'll do what I can to keep this stuff working, but as it stands, the lights worked differently on GL2 and GL3 so in many cases it's hard to tell what was wanted.
But like I said, every time when it was decided to keep the broken way as a default, the problems just kept piling up. You can go back to 1998 and see many of such things. It was the same story repeated all over each time. And the longer the bug was retained the harder it got in the end to sanitize it. No, thank you!
I'm on vacation for the next 4 days but I'll see that I can get something working this evening to help mitigate the issue without retaining the bug. That said, I think we really need a MAPINFO versioning system for the future so that mods that target a version with some broken feature can be auto-corrected later, if things need to change.
