    Masterpage gutter overflow in CS5

      Not exactly sure how to explain this, but it was a problem that was fixed in a previous version of InDesign that seems to have reappeared with CS5. If you have content that snaps to the gutter on a master spread, it now sticks to the facing page so if you use two separate masters on a spread, you have wrong content showing up on the opposite page. I'm opening files from CS3 in CS5 and am suddenly having the masterpage overflow throughout most of my documents. There are workarounds, such as splitting the spreads that use separate master pages, but that's a lot of extra work, and there's obviously a way to fix this because the problem was fixed in a previous version (CS3, I think).  I don't like making content stand off the gutter because it creates a thin line of white in backgrounds where the pages meet, plus the "snap to" feature should put the content in the correct place without me having to zoom way in to offset the content to keep it from appearing as content on the opposite page.

       

      Any one else seeing this problem?  Is this a bug I need to report?
