Missing jumps adds to your combo?

I noticed this bug in StepManiaCVS (the latest build). I've been trying to combo out MaxxU for a looong time. Anyway, I started noticing that I can't seem to do the turning jump part very well in MaxXU. (where it goes vertical jump, downlefyt jump, vertical jump, downright jump). I missed one of the vertical jumps... I could have sworn... but my combo kept goin. At the results screen.. I had 2 goods, no boos ro misses. I had a full combo up until the very end fo the song.

So I kepot trying to fc this... and after awhile i KNEW for a FACT that I wasn't hitting the vertical jumps. I could even see the jump go off the top of the screen, yet my combo kept going up, and Stepmania didnt even record it as a miss on the results screen. Later, I was doing
Cartoon Heroes, and the exact same thig ahp[enned witha vertical jumparound 2/3 through the song.

Has anyone else noticed this? Note: Its' NOT on autoplay at any point during the song.

I've noticed it too when I play Sync on heavy mode. I was trying to full combo and I missed a couple of freezes myself as a result I got the AA that I wanted but my dance meter said I missed the freezes. I think that its a bug in the stepmania file that just doesn't read the freezes all to well when you miss them. So I wouldn't worry about it too much. Frankly I consider it a big help so I know where my problems are when i go to the arcade and play.

That's awfully strange considering the older beta versions don't have that problem. At least I don't think they do.

I can attest to this problem, but I've only noticed it on regular jumps -- I haven't looked at freezes. In 3.9 alpha 3, in certain situations I can miss jumps completely and not have my combo broken. This thread is the first evidence I've seen of it besides my own SM... I thought it was just me.
