Keyframe bug?

I think this may be a small bug.

Normally you can click on the "Sync Cursor" icon to you can watch the effect of your keyframe in the preview windows as you scrub the cursor in the keyframe dialog. However, this "Sync Cursor" option is grayed out if for generated media (like text). This makes it very difficult to do keyframes for changing colors or text sizes in a title.

It's "by design", since you can have many difference references on the timeline to the same piece of generated media (note the choices you have when you copy and paste it), so there isn't a 1-1 mapping from timeline to keyframe in the media.

Having said that, more often than not, I just have one instance of a particular generated media on the timeline. It sure would be nice to have the sync cursor option available in that case. Anyone from SF listening? :-)
