I remember this bug. I submitted it. As noted in the bug, I found problems with the option, but was informed that it was behaving as expected. I didn't agree, but never could determine how it actually was behaving in order to explain how it ought to behave instead. That's why I marked it NOTABUG.

As noted there, I found that certain selected balances disappeared, but not all of them. Perhaps someone could better describe the behavior.
