Known bug filed in April, with this reply from Apple: "After further review
it has been determined that the feedback you provided is known to
engineering and a solution is currently under investigation." File your own
and maybe increased numbers of complaints will get them to fix it.

Join Apple's ADC at <http://connect.apple.com/MemberSite> (it's free and
also provides you an opportunity, if you wish to exercise it, to download
developmental software). Then use the bug reporter at
<https://bugreport.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RadarWeb> (which requires
the ADC membership username and password) to submit bug reports or
enhancement requests.

Once these are documented (you get a unique number when you submit them),
you can track their status, append additional information, and receive
feedback from engineering. This allows you to establish a two-way dialog,
albeit may not be timely, with your
problem/concern/shortcoming/suggestion/etc. and those in power to fix the
problem or add the enhancement.
