As Bill has pointed out the fix for that bug will be in the 807 beta. The problem with stable releases is that there has to be a cut off that marks between stable and beta. We decided that bug, which showed up late to the party, did not warrant the overhead of building and testing the release packages and delaying the release by several more days.
The 807 beta program will start fairly soon and that bug fix, as well as others, as well as new features will be available.
