qBittorrent version and Operating System

qBittorrent 4.1.1 64bit
win 8.1

What is the problem

When priority of some files of torrent is set to different from "Add torrent" dialog box a files will still download evenly. Until a priority will re set from "files" section of main window.

What is the expected behavior

Download process must respect priority of files when it is set from "Add torrent" dialog box.

Steps to reproduce

Enable show torrent settings when adding torrent.
Add torrent with several files.
In "Add torrent" dialog box change priority of one file to maximum.
Start download.

Extra info(if any)

When I set priority to max for the fist file and to high for the second file from "Add torrent" dialog the torrent start downloading like this:

When I re set priority to ordinal and back to max and high then torrent continue downloading like this (after couple of seconds):

Sorry for my english.
