Why can't I apply payments before sending an invoice?

[iloveboobyfood]

I send invoices after accepting a deposit, but when I create an invoice or estimate, I can apply a payment until AFTER sending the invoice.  My clients don't need extra emails and if they view the 1st invoice before I can apply their pre-payment/deposit, it looks bad on our end - then it prompts an email from the client asking why their deposit wasn't applied.  When will this be fixed?
