Given that I haven't touched anything in the area, the behaviour is the
one implemented in the Adobe SDK.
Do you have a sample code, just to see make sure we are talking about
the same thing?

As for the patch, it is what I expect. There is no "Adobe-friendly" here
as I'm not Adobe :-)
As for the behaviour, I'd ask there:

Just to make sure.
Not sure you'll get a reply, but there are more chances that the
original authors see it.
