@mattgemmell My bet: just before pushing it out the door, they found that auto-background + custom font colour would sometimes = red on red.

@mattgemmell I wonder why on earth the background colour matters? Do you think “Automatic” also adjusts the font size? Not played yet…

@brentsimmons Silly question: how do you *not* get the URL? If I copy from URL bar, and paste into various things, seems to work sensibly.
