H5T_NATIVE_B8 dataset shows up empty

Writing a normal 1-byte bool into a dataset of type H5T_NATIVE_B8 shows up empty in HDF Compass, even though the data is there and can be read back, or viewed with h5dump. See the top window on the attached screenshot. Cheers!

15 min later: I just realized that the "B" in H5T_NATIVE_B8 stands for bitfield and not bool. In fact H5T_NATIVE_UINT8 does show up and fixes my immediate problem. In any case, the file using H5T_NATIVE_B8 seems well formed and the dataset not showing up could be a bug.
