Thanks guys. Actually I'm running 2.13, I just haven't tried it since
way before 2.11. I always assumed it wasn't working like I expected
since last time I tried it. Yesterday I just happened to remember that
this would be nice to have, so I wrote the email but didn't bother
testing it on the newest version first. Sorry about that.
