2D symbol of a lib part in schedules

I have a schedule of library parts with 2D symbol field. Now when I am in the schedule view I can see all 2D symbol instances of one library part. In other words imagine if you had a circle with a text in it and you had placed instances of one lib.part with A, B and C letters on plans. So you can see 3 rows of circles with A, B and C in the schedule view. However when you place this schedule on a layout the 2D symbols will get reset to the default symbol (so you will see 3 empty circles instead, assuming that the empty circle is the default symbol)

I am not sure if that is a feature (hope not!) or a bug or I am doing something wrong.

This is a bug since ArchiCAD 9. The placed interactive schedule does not show any Text of the 2D-symbol.
I recently wrote a letter to Graphisoft, telling them this problem again.

Now I made a workaround with numbers which I build as filling.
Fills are shown in the interactive schedule. But If you need the complete alphabeth, its much work.

I must correct me: a bug since ArchiCAD 10.
And the letters and numbers are shown in truth.
But the size is 100 times too small.
Scroll to the maximum zoom and you will see!
