ML vs LEO: how elements are shown in edit mode

It just hit me. Until just now I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get use
to using MLCad, having started with LeoCad. It has to do with what elements
are being shown on the screen.

LeoCad shows: all the elements up to the current step

MLCad shows: all the elements up to the currently selected element*
OR just all the elements in the model.

This subtle difference is what's been throwing me off. I find it really
distracting that when I'm trying to work out the elements for a particular
step and they suddenly disappear when I'm working on a previous element...
Has anyone else noticed this?

SUGGESTION TIME:
I was hoping that Mike would consider adding a second check box that would
"Draw to current step only"

* A check box for "Draw to selected part only" is found under the Rendering
Tab of the MLCAD option dialog box.
