   What errors does you mean ? All, what you reported, wasn't errors, 
these was some features, added in 2.17 and absent in 2.18.

   Why don't you send here full list of 2.17 features, which you use and 
which absent in 2.18 ? I'm sure that it isn't too long, and we may 
decide what to do with it.

   Just one question: who is the volunteer to correct this in 2.17 ?
Not me. I've told here already, that I can't spend my time, digging in 
the complicated, labyrinthine and messy 2.17 code. Unfortunately, the 
HWG_USE_POINTER_ITEM mode isn't the only problem of 2.17. There are many 
bugs, but the quality of the code makes it difficult to fight with them.
I told all this many times already ...
   So, for me that was the only way.

   I know, that such changes are very annoying for users. I'm a user of 
some other software products, too, and I know very well, what it is. 
That's why I try to solve the incompatibilities, which you and other 
people send me, but, of course, I don't reproduce those, which I 
consider wrong.
