Doh! I should have guessed that from the pictures. You'll just need to
upgrade your implementation of _ev_GetLabelName() to more-or-less match the
other platforms.

Actually, you don't necessarily have to wait. The code to control flashing
is fairly localized, so if you'd like to define and use a new preference for
that using the existing (file-based) mechanism, it shouldn't be too hard.

Bummer. Fortunately, with Justin's new spelling dialog, at least they'll
have an alternative way to make the feature work.

Great. With all the cool work being done recently, we're overdue for an
0.7.6 release, which is now just waiting for us to reach platform parity
with for the three new dialogs (Zoom, Spelling, and Paragraph).

Good to have you back, married guy. :-)
