Its fixed on the current master build, so will be in the next release.
Nice to hear that. I'm waiting for the next release too because I don't want to overuse my quota if I failed to sync.
You may use snapshot (
https://veil.tools/docs/snapshots.html), that's how I got my wallet synchronized, using it will save your data as you can reuse it.
Edit: my bad, someone already suggested using snapshot.
