IMHO wrong Campaign-Tacking when using User ID Feature

Hi

Two weeks ago i enabled the User ID Feature. Every time a user is logged in I call the setUserId method with the ID of the Users Account. (The main goal is to track the users Visit across devices. i.e.: Entry via Mobile-Browser on Smartphone > DOI-Mail > confirm with normal Browser on Desktop.)

This worked like a charm.

BUT: Now i noticed, that nearly no more new Campaign Entry is been tracked. Even if a User visits the page 3 days later via another Campaign it won't be horner for the new, but for the very first campaign.

Therefore it seems that I can no more use Campaign-Tracking for returning (already registered) users.

Step By Step:
1. User visits page via campaign "Campaign A"
2. User logs in and User ID is set to "123456"
3. User leaves the page
4. User visits the page via "Campaign B" one day later
5. User logs in and User ID is set to "123456"

should (imho): 2 Vists, first with "Campaign A" as Entry-Point and second with "Campaing B" as Entry Point
is or seems to be: 1 Visit with "Campain A" as entry Point

The View of the Landingpage with "Campaign B" seems to be tracked correctly and is displayed under Referres > Campaigns and Goals > [Goal] > Campaigns . But the Visit of the second Landingpage, with the second campaign, it is NOT tracked as Entry-Page and is NOT displayed as "From Campaigns" in the Transitions of the Landingpage.

Bug or Feature?

if latter: How can I solve the cross-device Problem? How to track over a DOI step, when the users is switching from Mobile-Browser to Desktop or from Facebook-Browser to normal Mobile Browser.

Thanks in advance
