That's how 1.2.x does it IIRC, and it caused enough confusion that it
was changed in the 1.3.x series. I know the users at work still find the
Quark behaviour confusing even after literally 10 years of use (though
they're not the most computer literate or logical folks I'm afraid).

There's something to be said for doing it the way some other big player
does it, but in this case I think the Quark approach is rather less than
ideal.
