Explanation doesn't show in UI [#855416]

When I create a field, I type in an "Explanation" (i.e. helper text to be shown to the user when filling out the field), but when the user is filling out the field, the explanation text doesn't show. Can anyone else reproduce this?

p.s. The module is awesome. Solved a gigantic problem for me.

Thank you for report. It's a real bug.
Quick patch (for all versions): change line 64 in profile_pictures.module from

           '#description' => $field->description ? t($field->description) : '',

           '#description' => $field->explanation ? t($field->explanation) : '',

CVS patch is attached. Please report wheither it helped you.
