Actually I said nothing about a system bug. =)
As a common VSM user (ok, kind of the system manager) I just can share my experience and confirm that I have noticed the same issue as well as you. I believe only the system core developers can check the code for any bugs that may cause this issue and declare about it. After that you may ask for the hotfix and I am sure they will certainly provide it.
By the way, I do not exclude thepossibility to get the answer about wrong system configuration or the popular answer "this is by design" (?!?).
Who is Cody by the way? =)
