Moving a Filter Down in the List Fast

Hi,

It used to be that I could add a new filter at the top of the list, and then hold down Alt-D while the key repeat would make the filter scroll down at the repeat rate until I released the key. It was easy to add an entry and move it quickly to the right position. Now that no longer works: I need to hit Alt-D or tap the Move Down button repeatedly to do the same thing.

I have about 300 filters that are stored alphabetically, so tapping a key or a button on average 150 times to position the filter is a pain. I know I can scroll the filter cursor to the right position and then add, but that doesn't work when I right click on the From field of a message I want to make a filter from to create a filter for it.

Am I missing something? If not how would I request changing the key repeat for Alt-D or Alt-U so it works like it used to?

Thanks, Mike
