Change in account name completion behaviour?

I've noticed this for a few weeks now, so eventually I should ask:
Has there been any change in the account name completion behaviour? Scenario:
I enter a transaction in the register. During this action I try to enter an
account. Gnucash does an account name completion, plus when I type the
account seperator character, it completes the top-level account's name and
presents me the account name of the lower level. This used to mean that for
the account Assets:Checking:MyBank I needed to type (provided there were no
ambiguity) 'a' ':' 'c' ':' 'm' and I'm done.
It used to be this way until and including the last stable release IIRC
(1.6.5). But since then there showed up a change in the stable CVS branch
that made this way of entering account names more difficult. Namely, typing
the ':' character kept one character marked too much: Before, typing 'a' ':'
made Gnucash to complete 'Asset:---' and keeping the '---' part marked, but
NOT the ':' character. This way, typing the first letter of the subaccount
(here a 'c') made Gnucash to complete the name of the subaccount. The way of
right now is different: Typing an 'a' ':' makes Gnucash to complete
'Asset:---' but keeping the ':---' part marked, that is, INCLUDING the
colon! If I then type the first letter of the subaccount, the replacing
makes 'Asset:---' change into 'Assetc' and I can't reach the subaccount
anymore, unless I type a backspace and delete the character from the wrong
place.
This is annoying. Was there a good reason for this change that I missed? Did
anybody else notice this behaviour? Or is the error in my installation?
