Right. That likely is not going to change (much).

This is about prioritization. In any release, there is a limit as to what
will be fixed, improved or added. But often there are issues that affect a
small number of users and they don't make it. Fortunately, Valentina sells
into almost every major market in the world so international or unicode
related issues are much higher priority for Paradigma than for other
software companies. But, sometimes one customer really needs a feature/fix
and doesn't want to wait until their issue comes to the top of the list.
This would allow those users to move their issue to the top of the list.
