Thanks for reporting this bug. However, I think it is invalid because the "Apply permissions to enclosed files" button is not meant to apply the directory's permissions to the enclosed files, it is meant to apply the permissions specified in the "File access" drop-down boxes to the enclosed files. In this context, the "Apply permissions to enclosed files" does work as expected. See the attached screenshot to see what I mean.
