I have retested this issue on the latest Nightly try build (2018-03-12) and the issue is no longer reproducible. Tested on Windows 7 x64, Mac Os 10.12 and Arch Linux.

I'm cleaning up the old issues. Based on comment 2 this issue was fixed and verified. Considering this I will mark the bug as verified - fixed.
However, now the feature is enabled by default.
