question about This

[David A. Bayly]

I saw it in the same context that Matt described (a macro in #tools 
of a site) , was in a tearing hurry so worked around it (I was using 
parentOf(this^) I think) and put it down to something I had mistyped. 
Until Matt reported it, I had quite forgotten, there are too many 
bugs and no motivation to them.

But I confirm the problem.
