Another one unhappy with quickfill

[Mike C.]

I am tired of hearing people complain about some minor feature with GC. 
It is a great program supported by volunteers and may not be perfect for
every individual.  About quickfill, I think it is great most of the time
and very little inconvenience when it isn't.
Thanks developers
Mike
