staccato dots and slurs in second voice

[Werner LEMBERG]

Have a look at these two snippets.

  % slur.ly
  \relative c'
  <<
    { c'8( b) } \\
    { e,4     }
  >>

  % slur-beam.ly
  \relative c'
  <<
    { c'8[( b]) } \\
    { e,4     }
  >>

  % staccato-slur.ly
  \relative c'
  <<
    { c'8( b-.) } \\
    { e,4       }
  >>

  % staccato-slur-beam.ly
  \relative c'
  <<
    { c'8[( b-.]) } \\
    { e,4     }
  >>

Regarding the default slur positions without a beam as produced with
lilypond 2.19.15-1-171-ge86b2ea, I can only say: ouch :-)

However, I wonder whether there is a bug: Shouldn't the slur
horizontally stop exactly over the staccato point, regardless of the
vertical position?  Maybe the slur's end point can even have a smaller
x value, but definitely not a larger one...
