This has already been fixed. It is in 7.4.3 beta that you can find here:

[http://inductiveautomation.com/downloads/ignition/beta](http://inductiveautomation.com/downloads/ignition/beta)

If you are not comfortable with a beta, you can wait for the final release of 7.4.3 which should be any day now.
