Admin Area "View Site" Link

A quick question really, with the release of 1.11.1 the "View Site" link within the admin area has now been changed to take you to:
yoursite.com/index.php

I use mod_rewrite so users don't see the index.php or the variables attached to it but instead see the root and then the SEF urls for each page.

Does anyone have a quick fix/htaccess rule I could use so then the users don't get taken to /index.php but instead the root of the site?

If anything this small change is a major irritant to my perfectionist ways lol

Thanks in Advance,
MrEnigma

The View Site link in the menu goes to index.php which means when you are on Home page of admin it is same link in content area as in menu, the magnifying glass link is to the root...

It was a real PITA before they made those 2 links to index.php, I build templates when sites aren't ready to go live so they will have a dummy index.html to show public, w/o the index.php link you had to type the page address in the address bar after hitting View Site...

Hmm fair enough, I usually work off a staging area before I transfer over to the live domain.

So I've never needed to worry about requiring index.php to be shown.

So if I redirect index.php to / it will not cause any adverse effects to the workings of CMSMS?
