Frame 12 conditional text bug

Hi everyone
 
I've just posted this on Adobe's bug tracker as https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=selectBug&CFGRIDKEY=3783041 but wanted to see if anyone else is seeing it too. 
 
We have unstructured FM 12 files that use Expressions to choose what conditional text to display. We also use text insets, especially as TOCs in chapters. When we update the text insets, conditional text displays that should be hidden according to the Expression. This means our documents suddenly display extra text!
 
Our text insets are set to update automatically when files open, so opening a file is often enough to trigger this bug.
 
Fortunately, we found a workaround: The display becomes correct if we turn the Expression off and then on again. For example, if we set the Show/Hide Conditional Text dialog to Show All and click Apply, then set it to show as per the desired Expression and click Apply, it'll display correctly. Until the next time we do something radical like opening the file.

The workaround is a lot better than nothing, but it means we have to keep changing the Show/Hide Conditional Text dialog, across books of thousands of pages. It's slowing us down enough to drive us batty.
 
Cheers
Rebecca
