Apologies and thanks!

I too did not scroll far enough.

I wouldn't pull the RFE though, but instead re-word it to improve the UX 
for better discoverability. If at first you see a partial list of nth 
days of a month, it isn't intuitive to keep scrolling to see the other 
options. One would only discover them by accident. (or I suppose, 
reading a current version of the manual, again, by chance for long time 
users)

Regards,
Adrien
