--- Comment #78 from Ben Hall benjamin.hall@bioch.ox.ac.uk 2012-04-06 09:22:38 CDT --- The reason given (above, by vitaliy) was that this doesn't reflect the native behaviour. I think that it was originally suggested that it also caused slight slow downs due to repeated polling. There have been various debates about whether it is appropriate but I'd be pleased to see it included (especially as someone who reported the problem with morrowind ~5 years ago). I didn't entirely understand why the pragmatic approach wasn't followed in the first place until an alternative fix was proposed, but maybe 5 years ago the slowdown was a bigger deal than it is now.
