Brightness and Colour Temp Firmware Issues

I am trying to find out the current state of play of the oft cited Tradfri firmware issue where the bulbs can’t change brightness and colour at the same time.

Has anyone from Ikea confirmed this is a priority?

Disappointingly homebridge-hue doesn’t seem to have any workaround for setting scenes properly via HomeKit. Does anyone have any workarounds to let scenes work properly?

I’m surprised more people aren’t annoyed by this limitation as it sort of renders colour pointless - I’m not prepared to set that manually, it must be part of the scene...
