RE 2.3 - Unhappy with "Move To" behaviour change in patch

After carefully reading the version 2.3 release notes, I was distressed to find this entry:

        RND 0023927 Move to in patch should replace existing information, not add new parts.

That behaviour has been around a long time.  I don't remember seeing this in previous "Known Issues".

The previous ability of "Move To" to merge parts in patch came in very handy when patching scrollers.  When we imported dimmer patching via ascii in say channels 1 to 10,  we could then patch scrollers in a block command like "101 thru 110 type CXI at 3/1 <enter>" and then " 101 thru 110 Move To 1, thus avoiding the horrible Channel/Part syntax.  You should have made a "merge" softkey to keep old behaviour
