Problem in support for flac + cue files in Amarok 2.3

From what I know, Amarok should be able to display the breakpoints given by a .cue file over a playing .flac file, so that it's possible to browse more easily a CD that was ripped as a single flac file. Sadly, this is not happening to me. Do I miss something in my configuration? My flac files are stored together their .cue inside single folders devised by artist/album_name/CD# on an external HDD.

I've heard that Amarok 2.3 is even some support cue. But ... at least someone was see it? I tried different ways but I can't just add a cue to the playlist.

Amarok has a weird behaviour. Amarok has never supported the direct loading of a .cue file as a playlist like in qmmp and audacious, but occasionally it has had the presence of breakpoints over the time slider.
Now, it doesn't allow loading directly a .cue as usual but with at least one album that I have, a playlist has appeared while loading the single flac file. That is, on the playlist there was the complete list of the tracks inside the album automatically loaded. This feature is completely unreliable, this is the weird part, because trying to load other albums it didn't worked. BTW the act of moving among tracks is not smooth: at least the first minute of the track is completely missing and it's impossible to play it moving the time slider backward.
