cannot protect directories with Plesk 12.0.18 #52

Conny

New Pleskian
After I've upgraded Plesk 1.0.18 to latest version, I'm unable to set protection on directories. Plesk say it is set, but it is not. I can access protected directory without pop-up of login-details. Old protected directories work, but for new one added not working anymore. I also tried by conventional way adding .htaccess and .htpasswd files to the directory, but it does not apply either.
 
It was set to 0 (zero) as per default, and does not solve the problem. Something is very strange behaviour. If I create a new directory/folder and protect it, it works. If I add to this directory also other folders or files, than directory is not protected anymore. What I did: I added new folder with feature protect folder (and also tried to add it before and than protect it), copy than the content of another folder to this protected folder (cause I want to create a clone for software upgrade tests) and the folder is not protected anymore. The same, if I add the content to this protected directory via filezilla for ex. Protection is lost when I add something on this directory. It should be a bug.
