Yes. 8.2 similarly has this problem.
I think that this problem is solved since version 9.0. 

aballier,
Thank you very much for your hard work.
a lot of my bugs were closed by you. :)

Tested on my lenovo and works fine.
I think, it is ready to merge to portage tree.

this is fixed in 9.0, please use this release instead
