We have not (yet) checked into the UI source code. Thus no patch for the 
moment. We will have a look...

however the issue is not "fatal", as there is the workaround to enter 
manually the correct MRL. Thus for the moment it could be enough to 
document the issue and the workaround for MacOS.

I will also mak a further check for XP, and in case also there there is a 
workaround.
