Restart to update doesn't work

When I go into Help->About, it checks for updates and presents a button "Restart to Update". When I click that, nothing happens.

The button is visually pressed down, but nothing functional actually happens. No matter how many times I click it. Or press space/enter on it. Nothing *at all*.

That's only a workaround.

Is this problem actually *fixed* in the new version, or will I have to continue downloading the full installer for each and every new version?
