I remember thinking your change was nice and I tested it at the time. I
agree that the fix is really nice for the situation that you took a
screenshot of. I did not expect the behavior I saw in the itemize, but
if I understand correctly you're saying that the new behavior contains
information. I think I could get used to it; it just looked weird to me
when I first saw it.
