Thank you for posting that. I've been seeing much the same thing,
for it seems like two or three releases now; and it has always wanted to
take not only a huge number of things, but several that are crucial to my
use. There has to be something wrong: I always remove umpteen dozen apps
having to do with languages I never see, and then have to leave Thai.
Can somebody at least tell us *why* this patent aberration is
arising?
