Yes, well it seems that it has.

Status text and comments are different and should be treated as such.

In a way it is a bug fix although I did like leaving the view station dialog open and it was convenient 
to see the status text if a station sent one update in the comments field.  No real problem I can 
leave a station info dialog open for those stations of interest.

Here is the output from the log

VK5BRC-7>APND0X,WIDE3-2:>Barossa Amateur Radio Club APRS Digi - Tanunda
