[Discuss-gnuradio] Bus ports problem -- issue from 2016?

[John Ackermann N8UR]

I've started experimenting with the bus port capability, using 3.7.11.1.

The QT GUI Frequency Sink creates a bus with one more port than the 
number required (possibly a hidden message port).  This was reported as 
a bug last year, and still seems to be a problem.  Is a fix for this on 
the horizon?  Or is there a workaround -- e.g., is it possible to 
separate a bus back to individual ports?

Thanks,
John
