behavior of \dt and schemas

Hi all,

I've come across some rather non-intuitive behavior with \dt output. Say I have schema A and schema B, both with an identical mytable in them. If I set the search_path to A; and type \dt, I see

             List of relations
 Schema      |  Name   | Type   | Owner
-------------------------------------------------------
 a                | mytable | table   | postgres

So far so good, and I get a similar output If I just set the search_path to B, only now it properly shows the schema as b. However, if I set the search_path to a, b; and enter \dt, I only see the tables from the first schema "a", like the above. and not the second schema. I would have expected:

               List of relations
Schema      |  Name   | Type    | Owner
-------------------------------------------------------
 a                | mytable | table   | postgres
 b                | mytable | table   | postgres

So, to me this is somewhat non-intuitive behavior, but maybe I'm all wet here. Shouldn't \dt report all the tables it can see with the search_path set to some value? And btw, this is was the behavior on 9.4.10, so if it's changed in more recent versions, I haven't tested there yet.

Flame suit on,
Jay
