statistics not reset with thread count change

I'm trying to put in a place a scenario with a warm-up period using multiple threads, followed by the actual test case where we send a single stream of requests with a fixed delay between requests - so I need the statistics reset at the time of the change to see the results of the measured part of the test.

So, I set up a load test with "Thread" strategy, 2 (also tried 1) threads, starting at two threads and ending at one.  I also ensured that in the load test options "Reset statistics when the number of threads changes" is checked.

However, I see a long entry when the number of threads goes to 1, and the rate of requests does seem to get cut in half - but the statistics do not get reset.  The "count" statistic continues to climb from the last logged value (also as seen in the GUI window), and min/max/avg don't change.

Just to double-check, I reversed the scenario, starting at one thread, increasing to two, and statistics are still not reset.  For example:

date,threads,elapsed,min,max,avg,last,cnt,tps,bytes,bps,err,reason

Am I missing something here in the way I'm setting things up or viewing the results, or in my expectations?

Thanks in advance for any help.
