+1 after reading and testing.


I did discover one other corner of FlexForm CSH that is broken, but 
unrelated to this patch.  When opening the CSH popup window, the field 
label is not shown correctly in the header and we just get the full path 
to the field instead (ie. tt_content.pi_flexform.myext_pi1.list: 
myField).  Bug report opened at [1]
