As I understand it, there has been a revision of Renpy that was a released - adding support for Python 3. Would updating CK to that version allow for correcting the quirk, among whatever else that plagues developers?
Anyhow, thanks for the response. It is good to see developers address bugs and commentaries, it makes me feel like reporting issues as I find them. Hopefully, I will (not) find issues, but will keep an eye out.
