In other words,
this could be an unuseful work.

I have seen that the simple-ideal mode works fine,
thanks for the tip, I have already switched to it.

But why the ideal mode's code has not been removed or
the interface hidden?

I guess a lot of people will have my same trouble
and they will be unsatisfied from the ideal interface...

Thanks a lot
