Masks Clip to bleed area not full object

[alang]

Not sure if this is a bug or how it is designed, 

when I was adding a mask on an image to create a gradient, solid fill in the page to a nice transparent edge, when I would export the file the bleed area would not have the mask applied, one workaround I found was to shrink the picture to the document size, add a mask, then resize (cumbersome and difficult to line up)

the other way was to apply the mask how I wanted it, then resize it to include the bleed area.  then it would show up properly upon export.

can we have it so when we add a mask on something it applies to the whole object and not just to the object within the spread/page area to account for bleed?

Thanks

That's got to be a bug... or at least a significant oversight.

Any progress on this? It's a real nuisance having mask areas limited to within the page boundary when creating them. Extending the creation area to include at least the bleed would be a huge help.
