Inherited external property is applied on subfolder

Hi,

we have several externals defined for the root of our working copy beside some regular versioned folders:

Trunk
- ExternalBuild
- ExternalDocs
- Source
- Tools

So TortoiseSVN shows in properties of Trunk folder the following svn:externals:
Path: ExternalBuild | URL: http://.../Repo1/trunk/Build
Path: ExternalDocs | URL: http://.../Repo1/trunk/Docs

Now I want to add a different external in Tools subfolder.
I open the svn properties dialog of the Tools subfolder and see the two externals specified for Trunk folder.
They are printed in grey and the ‘inherited from’ column indicates that they are inherited from Trunk ‘folder’.
So far everything correct.
Now I click edit for the ‘svn:externals’ property line with the result that the edit dialog for externals opens up, showing the two entries already in it (same behavior when I try to add a new ‘externals’ property via ‘New’->’Externals’).

I add my new desired external folder by clicking ‘New’ button:
Local Path: ExternalTool
URL: http://.../Repo1/trunk/Tools/Tool1

Finally I close the dialog with Ok and close the externals edit dialog with Ok as well.
Back in the svn properties dialog the ‘svn:externals’ property line is now printed in black and contains the two inherited externals and my new created external.
I think at this point the bug occurs because the inherited properties are now applied to Tools folder as well.
Close dialog with Ok.
Now I perform an Update on the Tools folder. I would expect the following result:
Trunk
- ExternalBuild
- ExternalDocs
- Source
- Tools
-- ExternalTool

But instead all externals from Trunk folder are also applied on tools folder now:
Trunk
- ExternalBuild
- ExternalDocs
- Source
- Tools
-- ExternalBuild
-- ExternalDocs
-- ExternalTool

This looks like a bug to me.
Or am I doing something completely wrong?

Best regards
Martin Hentschel
