[18:06] decke, problem goes away if you name it something other than .type? [18:06] good question... [18:07] one second... will try that... [18:07] you think of another "magic" thing? [18:07] ? [18:08] (you mean besides _whatever?) [18:08] so the _thing probably is a "feature" [18:08] or convention ;-) [18:09] still reporting it, 'cause it shouldn't be that way, and if it has to be for some reason, it definitely needs to be documented [18:09] no param.voeslauer also causes the same behaviour...

[18:10] standing in front of me...| helma irc
