Note: this change causes a regression in kdev-python because our code was based on (and worked around) the long-standing previous behaviour; it produces broken results given the 'fixed' offset. I shall have to write a patch with a version-check before our next stable release. While the new behaviour is more logical, I'm not convinced that deliberate API breakage in a stable release - for something that's not a recent regression - was a good idea.
