Is auto-submit actually working?

I thought I read that in TTR3, your scores should be automatically submit to the server instead of having to click the leaderboard all the time, like in TTR2. I'm not convinced this is actually true.

I just played a track twice. The first time not opening the high scores, the second time doing so. The high scores only show the second score (the time I opened the leaderboards) but not the first. (Note that coins and XP are being added correctly, however.) Can someone confirm this?
