I have noticed this for awhile, and finally have had the nerve to investigate. Like SabreWolfy, I can confirm that it still exists for Lucid 10.04.1. I'll upgrade to Maverick likely this weekend, and will test it then. If it still exists, I'll change the Fix Released setting of this bug as I'm not the only one still experiencing this bug.
