   Does anyone know if there’s a plan to fix this bug?

 * This issue has been fixed in the development branch for the next release (7.5),
   see: [https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT/issues/321](https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT/issues/321)
   As for timing of the next release, I’m currently working the prep for the 7.5
   release (and have one last recent bug report to sort out) and hope to release
   within a couple of weeks.
