Not reproducible, neither with 10.2010.19-1 nor a recent internal version.

Comment 3 Ian Stirling (reporter) 2010-06-02 16:37:52 UTC

Sigh. It _was_ doing this.
I must have missed some critical step - I now cannot reproduce either.

This is not just me - at least several other people hit this - but in the lack
of a reproducible test case...
