4. Follow the instructions and install the plugin
5. After the installation, the page is reloaded and the plugin is used

I can confirm this is still present in 1.0rc1.

Would be nice having this fixed, it seems to be easy to me.
sending an internal signal (which should kinda like someone pressed that
specific button a second time).

Yes, this should be fixed before 1.0 final, this could really confuse new users
(It even confused myself lol)

flags set by developers.

If you have a fix, create a patch and attach it to this bug.
