Yes, that was the case. Sorry I can't test it anymore since I have
another, bigger problem with X now (see #246663).

Yes, there it is. I saw it one day or two after I wrote this mail. So it

I was working on a case.  It had to be a case, because I couldn't afford a
desk.  Then I saw her.  This tall blond lady.  She must have been tall
because I was on the third floor.  She rolled her deep blue eyes towards
me.  I picked them up and rolled them back.  We kissed.  She screamed.  I
took the cigarette from my mouth and kissed her again.
