#76 \setkomavar{firsrhead}{…} not working with KOMA-Script v3.42

[Markus Kohm]

After the update to KOMA-Script 3.42, something like

\documentclass{scrletter}% or scrlttr2

\setkomavar{firsthead}{First Head}
\setkomavar{firstfoot}{First Foot}
\setkomavar{fromname}{Me}
\setkomavar{fromaddress}{Here}

\begin{document}

\begin{letter}{Your\\There}
  \opening{Hello You,}
  Test
  \closing{Bye}
\end{letter}

\end{document}

shows the default header with Me and Here at the first page, instead of First Head.

Fixed by @texhackse in [r4128]/[r4129].

OT: Sorry, forgot to create the ticket, as I had not network connection on the train -> thanks for fixing that.

There is also a workaround for this issue:

\documentclass{scrlttr2}

\setkomavar{firsthead}{First Head}
\setkomavar{firstfoot}{First Foot}
\setkomavar{fromname}{Me}
\setkomavar{fromaddress}{Here}
\KOMAoptions{fromalign=false}

\begin{document}

\begin{letter}{Your\\There}
  \opening{Hello You,}
  Test
  \closing{Bye}
\end{letter}

\end{document}

You can set the option also at \documentclass resp. when loading package scrletter. I've shown here the version using \KOMAoptions, because \setkomavar{firsthead}{…} is often used in LCO files. In this case it would be save to add the \KOMAoptions command also to that LCO file.
