Reverse Speed no longer works?

Previously to reverse a clip (have it play backwards), I would right-click on the clip in the timeline, then on Speed/Duration and check "Reverse Speed". However, now, it literally reverses the speed. Meaning, if the speed of clip was set at "90%", it would change to "-90%" once "Reverse Speed" was selected. This change happened today. When I was working on my project yesterday, the clip was playing backwards. Now going into the project today, it's at a different point in the clip, playing at the negative version of the set speed.

Ok, now I feel stupid. My clip had the posterize time effect applied on it, so it was doing all sorts of odd things when trying to reverse and or change the speed. Problem solved!

Unless I'm misunderstanding, I believe that is how it works? If I click Reverse Speed, then in the timeline it will say the clip is at -100% speed.
