I posted this issue on Github but unfortunately it was closed with a won’t fix response;
I’m still interested to get it resolved so was hoping someone on this forum is willing to work on finding a solution for the issue I reported - which is work I’m willing to fund. I’m open to various ways of achieving the result - e.g. by developing a fix and submitting it as pull request to the core, by building a plugin to do it or providing it to me as a local path I need to apply.
Please reply if you are interested in picking up this work.
