Thanks, I'll mark it as fixed in 2.0, and rest of demos as still broken 
in 2.4.


Btw. Why your notes are not in the compatibility list?  It's supposed to 
list known problematic cases, when they've been last checked and fixed...


FYI: I normally remove the problem descriptions when issue is fixed, but 
leave note of features needed for them to work.  If earlier problem 
descriptions are needed later on, one can always get them from git [1].

[1] "gitk <file>" is easy way to browse last changes to given file.

If there are a lot of changes to, using first "git blame <file>" to see 
the change commit for given line, then "git show <commit>" to see 
earlier description may help.  If earlier changes for given line are 
needed, one needs to do "git checkout <commit>" and "git blame" again...
