When I first saw it, I tried it with a version of 2.2.1 that I had, and
I could reproduce it with that as well. I've been poking at it for a
while, in between various distractions. I just tried it again just to
make sure I wasn't imagining it and yeah, still happens.  I'm pretty
sure I tried some older versions too but I didn't take notes.

PS: it can take a while to get it to trigger.
