If it's unwanted functionality, that's a bug. That's kind of the whole (and only) difference between "bug" and "feature". Do people want it?

And Petr made it clear that he didn't want it. And I can certainly understand why - so it's not just some confused user. As such, it's clearly not a feature, and is clearly a bug.
