Character Tag "As Is" setting--isn't

[Matt Sullivan]

Hi David, 

I agree with your thoughts on the subject, but I believe the engineers would call this "as designed"…

I know it could be better, but given that the Character Designer hasn't changed since, well, ever.

As such, I'm betting it's not at the top of the To-Do list for the engineers.

-Matt
