c is a Company and c has\_many :videos.

> > Video.with\_scope(:find =\> { :limit =\> 5 }) { c.videos }.size  
> > =\> 13

it works though when I don’t use the association

> > Video.with\_scope(:find =\> { :limit =\> 5 }) { Video.find :all }.size  
> > =\> 5

I found a ticket [1] whose description says it addresses this issue,  
but the code definitely looks like it doesn’t…anyway does anyone  
know of a workaround for this?
