Using BINARY mode transfer even though ASCII is selected!

Description
I’ve been using FileZilla successfully until I upgraded to version 3.1.5.
Despite selecting “Auto” or “ASCII” for the file transfer mode in teh FileZilla menu FileZilla version 3.1.5 always transfers the file in BINARY mode! A sample of the output is as follows:
Command: CWD /cgi-bin
Response: 250 Directory successfully changed.
Command: TYPE A
Response: 200 Switching to ASCII mode.
Command: PASV
Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode
Command: RETR hits_out.txt
Response: 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for hits_out.txt (5749 bytes).
Response: 226 File send OK.
Status: File transfer successful
As you can see FileZilla switches to ASCII mode but transfers the file in BINARY mode! I feel this is a major bug with the software.
Please could someone investigate as I would really like to keep using FileZilla but the software as it stands is incapable of transferring in ASCII mode without corrupting the file.
Note that the server says binary, not the client.
