'Show ads everywhere except for these domains...' breaks with 'Block an ad on this page'

hi! i use AdBlock to only block adds and not-needed content elements on annoying locations in pages, so i use the 'Show ads everywhere except for these domains...' option, and the 'Manually edit your filters' field.

the problem is that every time i add a new region through 'Block an ad on this page' under the right mouse button, the first line of 'Manually edit your filters' gets removed!!! it's the line that looks like:

@@*$document,domain=~facebook.com|~linkedin.com|~weather.com

so AdBlock starts blocking all ads again, and i need to manually restore this line to the top of the field :(

    The current re-blocking functionality takes the filter that unblocks the page, and deletes it. If you only want to block certain ads, you can disable EasyList at AdBlock Options > Filter Lists, then manually block all ads on the site.

    I'll make this as a suggestion, to implement a blocking technique that checks for this sort of unblocking filter.

    I have this issue, as well. I would like to use AdBlock for only select sites, but this makes it difficult.
