Is that possible to set different border styles for floating and normal windows?

I have this in my config:

new_float normal 4
new_window normal 1

But it doesn't work as expected. Both floating and normal windows have normal 1 border in that case. If I swap these two lines in my config, both floating and normal windows will have normal 4 border.

Am I missing something?

UPDATE: This bug was fixed in 4.8 version. Part from the changelog:

new_window and new_float can now be used simultaneously with different border widths

Seems fixed, and it's very nice to see. Or am I just somehow very lucky to have this feature working?

Are you using 4.8? Because it's still present in 4.7.2.

I also use 4.8. And there is no such bug. According to the changelog (http://i3wm.org/downloads/RELEASE-NOTES-4.8.txt) it was fixed in 4.8: "new\_window and new\_float can now be used simultaneously with different border widths".
