It is hard to say, where to post it, if this bug is still present in the avast 2014 beta 1, ideally in the beta sub forum in a topic of its own.
Presumably it is still present in the avast 8.0.1496 beta r3, so that fact could be mentioned as the avast 2014 version is still some way off. Hopefully the current version of avast 8.0.1489 would be updated sooner than that, mind you it seems that this beta is more geared up to windows 8.1 compatibility along with a couple of other things.
