Confirmed this is a problem as far back as Precise. Wow, I'm surprised we never noticed this before. Maybe it's a good time to check in with the developers of the other software centers and see what they do? Or work on a major redesign? Either way, I'm thinking we target this for W-series. Thoughts, Jörn?
